That doesn't address the question of where the money comes from (taxes & debt).

I totally agree that the government screwed over landlords with the moratorium. Everyone with an IQ above room temperature at the time agreed a better solution was better unemployment insurance for those who lost their jobs.

Money doesn't come from taxes and debt.

It is created de novo within a computer system.

It is conceptualized, according to intellectual paradigms, as originating as a 'debt' and being "paid back" by taxes. But this accounting is fallacious. There is a movement in economics called MMT which is going to challenge these paradigms.
