Disgusting and from a Dem congressman

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/david-scott-payday-loan_us_56c4e13fe4b08ffac1276db5

"Good lawmakers borrow, great lawmakers steal. Rep. David Scott (D-Ga.) is a great lawmaker.

At a House Financial Services Committee hearing last week on new rules intended to rein in abusive forms of payday lending, Scott couldn't seem to stop praising the industry, using language that sounded, well, bizarre. He bemoaned over-regulation by two agencies that don't actually oversee payday lenders. He said such "small-dollar" loans were "highly transparent" with "built-in controls to limit the use" -- products so good, they're designed to prevent people from using them."


If I am correct he has endorsed Clinton,
this is why people are fed up, reminds me when John Oliver did a thing on his show about Alec and politicians repeating them verbatim but that was republicans now we have our own and unfortunately I am sure there are more

Most of us know this already, has little to do with voting for a bad candidate or allowing a fascist to take over.

Dunno if the politician involved is one of Debbie's BFFs.
