Governments seem to have taken control of everyone's money ...

[dogtag]

and that doesn't bode well for anybody who either owes money
or is owed money - and that is just about everybody.
Where did State and Federal bureaucrats suddenly get the
authority to declare renters need not pay rent, banks cannot
foreclose on Landlords who can't pay their mortgage because
they're not receiving any rent because the renters are out of work ?
And exactly who put them out of work ? Governments.
God only knows what kind of havoc this is going to create down the road.
If government is going to bail everyone out, it seems to me that this
newly picked money on top of the several trillion already picked is going to
make my limited dollars worth a whole lot less and everything I want to buy
worth a helluva lot more.
Am I jumping at shadows ?

If you got $1200, what's a few trillion more. Vern says it's our money...right?

I've thought about this too. In the case of the banks perhaps one of the many stimulus plans includes $ for the banks in lost interest but in the case of renters not needing to pay rent? Some of these landlords are individuals like you and me where the government has no authority.

I know Ford Motor Credit has told payers that they can be extended (late) for 3 months (I think) but this is Ford not the taxpayers money.

Sorry this is inconvenient for you DT, that the only calls to be made are hard ones.
