GOOD: Congress fails to extend eviction moratorium expiring Saturday.

Instapundit--GOOD!

Congress fails to extend eviction moratorium expiring Saturday.

The eleventh-hour bid, which came as thousands of people may soon face the process of being forced from their homes, faltered amid caucus divisions. About a dozen House Democrats opposed the measure and were unwilling to budge, two senior Democratic aides told NBC News...

Related: “[T]he moratorium has left an enormous $21 billion tab in unpaid rent built up.
"Whenever the order finally expires, crushing bills will come due.
They will either bankrupt delinquent renters, leave landlords in the lurch, or, unfortunately, be passed on to taxpayers via a bailout.

The longer the eviction moratorium continues, the more this dysfunction magnifies.

Of course, that only gives politicians more incentive to expand it into perpetuity to avoid having to face the fallout from their poor policy decisions. 

The ultimate loser from such cowardice, though, is American taxpayers.

Remember that next time you hear the word ‘temporary’ attached to a proposal for a new government program.”--Posted by Ed Driscoll"
