    Average annual interest rates on payday loans:

    Delaware: 521%
    Idaho: 652%
    Nevada: 652%
    Texas: 661%
    Utah: 652%
    Wisconsin: 574%

    It's time to end exploitative lending that keeps Americans trapped in debt. We will cap interest rates on consumer loans and credit cards at 15%.

    CC companies won’t offer credit to certain customers if interest rates are capped. And while payday loans might look unappealing to a millionaire like Bernie, they’re better than the alternatives.

    Demos Retweeted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

    On top that there’s a for-profit credit reporting system

    that perpetuates the racial wealth gap.

    We’ve got an idea ��build a public credit registry.

    The myth that bad credit or struggling w bills = irresponsibility is a heinous myth.

    Paying people less than what’s needed to live is what’s actually irresponsible.

    GDP + costs are rising, wages are not. That doesn’t mean YOU’RE bad. It means working people are set up to fail.

    worthwhile read (from link above)



    The algorithms that determine our creditworthiness are not publicly available, and consumers must pay to access their own credit reports and scores (beyond one free report from each company per year). Errors are common, and people of color experience higher error rates than white households. Meanwhile these errors are notoriously difficult to correct, as credit reporting companies have failed to make the investments necessary to investigate disputed items. It is lenders—not American consumers—who are the customers of these companies. Our consumer data is their product; thus, these corporations are not accountable to consumers. The companies have no incentive to be concerned about racial equity or fairness.

    LMAO. You see a policy idea for the first time, you admittedly have no idea how it works, you haven't thought through any of the implications, and yet you tell me that by not supporting it:

    "End of the day
    You are firmly.in the camp of standing by preditory lending"

    57 understands nothing. He blindly and proudly supports any government takeover of anything without a single critical thought

    you are not paying attention to the antisemetism on the left.

    It's legit weird why you can't even call it out when it's right in front of you

    Anti-Zionism is just a cover for antisemitism.

    It just makes leftists feel better that they are in bed with militant Islam.

    Talib gets a "calming" feeling when she thinks of the Holocaust.

    Nothing to see here.
