Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., on Sunday blamed Democrats – both in the House of Representatives and at the White House – for allowing the eviction moratorium to expire, as millions of American families are at risk of being kicked out of their homes.
"The House and House leadership had the opportunity to vote to extend the moratorium, and there was frankly a handful of conservative Democrats in the House who threatened to get on planes rather than hold this vote," she said on CNN "State of the Union." "We have to really just call a spade a spade.

It seems to me, and I'm just spitballin' here, that if these people had paid their rent or worked out some kind of reasonable deal with their landlords, they would be being kicked out.

Never you mind, sweetcheeks, CNBC says the CDC just reissued the eviction ban that the Supreme Court has declared unconstitutional. What's to stop them? Who enforces a Supreme Court ruling that the loser doesn't agree with anyway?

"We have to really just call a spade a spade."
WHAT!!!!!!! AOC doesn't know that the phrase "call a spade a spade" is considered offensive due to the use of the word "spade" as a racial slur for a black person?

FTA ... as millions of American families are at risk of being kicked out of their homes.
Or perhaps being kicked out of somebody else's homes ? Sorry but my sympathy runs shallow on this one. At least it's summer.

AOC is up to no good by making this statement. She would not make any statement that in any way, shape or form excused Republicans from anything unless she has something up her sleeve.

My 91 yo mother put every dime she had into buying five separate houses for my younger, learning disabled brother(severe dyslexia, cannot read, write, or do even simple maths) to fix up and rent out. As soon as this program was announced ALL of them quit paying, even those that had no loss of income, "Essential workers" with decent paying jobs, and for most of this period were earning bonuses and LOTS of overtime. (Though one was 4 months in arrears and had promised to move out by the weekend, days ahead of the deputies moving them out, the day the program was announced they had a lawyer call and say "You can't make me!") The mortgages still have to be paid, the insurance, the taxes, the upkeep/repairs, the utilities...it takes every penny of her SS and pension...plus having to refi for them both to live on.

Don't be so quick, #6. CDC just said FU to SCOTUS, and extended the moratorium until Oct. 5th. They are going to ignore what the court said in total.

This is going to create a bigger mess than it was supposed to cure.
Tenants evicted or not the landlords can't afford to pay the mortgages. The banks will take the properties. The rents will skyrocket everywhere.

When I was unemployed for months last yea, I told my landlady that I would always pay the rent.
I might be eating PB&J but I would pay the rent. (I like where I like where I live and the landlady is pleasant.

Why only rent? Why not mortgage payments as well? A place to live is a place to live.

Given all the money being handed out by entitlement programs over the past few decades, paying rent should be easy. I'd like to know what these people are spending their money on.
