Omar reintroduces bill seeking to cancel rent, mortgage payments during pandemic
2021-03-12
[THEHILL] Rep. Ilhan Omar
...Somali-American Dem representative from Minnesota. She was apparently married to her brother and may be her own grandmaw on her mother's side...
(D-Minn.) on Thursday introduced for the second time a bill that would guarantee full payment forgiveness on rent and home mortgage payments throughout the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
pandemic.

Under the bill, titled the Rent and Mortgage Cancellation Act, there would be no accumulation of debt for renters or homeowners, as well as no negative impact on a person’s credit rating or rental history.

The legislation also calls on the Department of Housing and Urban Development to establish and oversee a "Landlord Relief Fund," to cover any losses landlords would receive as a result of the payment cancellations.Omar, under the legislation, also hopes to increase the availability of affordable housing by creating an optional buyout to enable the purchase of private rental properties by nonprofits, public housing authorities, cooperatives, community land trusts, and states or local governments.

Omar said Thursday while introducing the bill along with some of its more than 20 co-sponsors that the country is facing "an unprecedented crisis that has put millions of Americans at risk of housing instability and homelessness."

#8  Simpler: each drop of bondsman's blood = blood drawn by sword (A.Lincoln's formula).
650,000 Civil War dead = ~1 trillion drops of bonsdmen's blood.

Debt: Paid in Full.

Wrote an Article on the History and Fallacy of Civil War Reparation Promises.

It is way too long for here as a comment.

Summarized:
While some have said 40 Acres and a Mule would cost America at least $6.5 Trillion in today's money.

The real figure should be based the purchase prices at the time of the unauthorized promise by Union Army General William Tecumseh Sherman on January 16, 1865 and adjusted for inflation.

1 ac. @ $7.00 x 40 acres = $280.00
1 working Mule age 3 years of age = $75.00
Total high value = $355.00 in 1865 dollars, or according to a popularly used internet inflation calculation app the $355.00 in 1865 would equal about $5,468.89 in 2018 US Dollars. Lets call it $6,000 for 2021.


Yes that means $6,000 divided over the whole now living family of a former proven slave between 1807-1865. note: 1807 is when the US banned the import of slaves.

Because Reparations is an inherited amount, it is divided among the living family, not multiplied.

NOT, each and every Black American, simply because of the MILLIONS of later African and other Non-Africa Dark Skin immigrants long after the 1900's. But only those that can PROVE their family's line dates back to actual US Slavery between 1807 to 1865. That figure would be about 2.5 Million in number able to prove properly dated slave lineage. Or less than about $15 Billion at the top end.

Then there is the question of the Taxes to pay for Reparations. How do you tax "others" based ONLY on RACE and/or tax those that arrived after 1865 in the USA having no responsibility for slavery? Or those that fought against it in the Civil War?

#6  She obviously does not understand how a monetary system actually works.

She's learned a lot about graft and taking other people's money in the decade or so she's been here, NN2N1.

#4  Reparations (in one form or another) are a done deal. We cannot continue to have dedicated democrats leaving the reservation.

#3  Let's split the difference and cancel Reparations.

#2  Did she also seek to cancel property taxes and assessments?

Oh, that's right, to commies, you do not have personal property, it belongs to the state. You merely enjoy their benevolence in allowing you to think you do.

Stop and imagine the deeper ramifications in the monetary food chain. Think of the Banking / Wall Street extended melt down due the Housing Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac issue just 12+ years ago?

The results of this stupidity could be that, combined with a 1920's type Mega-Depression and lasting 10+ years.
