just ask your father for money. Rich guys are all alike. They have no clue. About grocery shopping, about paying bills and balancing each penny to make it another week before payday. Food and clothing prices have increased, while wages have not. Everything costs more, but pay is not rising at the same rate. Pay more, get less.

Loans have a payback period ... usually within 30 days ... and how in the world do these people get in a position where they cannot even know when they will get paid?

Undoing Obama's restrictions on payday lenders was one of Mike Mulvaney's first actions as head of the CFPB. It really screws over young military members.

Thankfully, not everyone from a privileged background are as despicable as Ross and Trump, just most of the GOP.

... Yet, he is the face the GOP/republican party...a party that seems to delight in inflicting pain through hateful, hurtful policies and or through hate propaganda and lies-- all the while enriching themselves even more. Just what is their end game?

Ps. I hope, voters are taking notes as to which party genuinely cares about them.

My Congressman is one of 'em, unfortunately. What a letdown from the days of being represented by the most excellent Ted Lieu. Kurt Schrader leaves a lot to be desired. Sure would like to see him primaried next year.
