    Government should address the needs of those Trumpies that Hillary Clinton described as:

    ... people who feel that the government has let them down, the economy has let them down, nobody cares about them, nobody worries about what happens to their lives and their futures, and they’re just desperate for change. It doesn’t really even matter where it comes from. They don’t buy everything he says, but he seems to hold out some hope that their lives will be different. They won’t wake up and see their jobs disappear, lose a kid to heroine, feel like they’re in a dead-end."

    As she noted, "Those are people we have to understand and empathize with as well."

    To whatever extent racial discrimination. de iure and de facto has contributed and continues to contribute to the plight of those denied the opportunities America purportedly affords to all, it is essential that a government of, by, and for all the People address it.

    one of the first things Obama did was undo some Of Bush's anti-consumer banking laws, yes, Obama saved me 1000's when the banks tried to raise my credit card rates from 8% to 39.9%

    because of Obama's changes, all I had to say is I do not agree to the rate increase and close my account... then I kept the 8% rate - with Bush I would of been paying the new rate

    I do know the consumer financial protection bureau is better now, before it was a worthless joke.

    I never wanted to know that, so I understand why you vote Democrat.

    “Banks do the right thing,” says the legal aid lawyer, seriously, I put a sticky note on my monitor to remind me that one was seriously retarded. “I do not know,” says more than one rich lawyer’s office recommended by the bar, if there is no conflict of interest. Then the consumer financial protection bureau saved my ass, after the bank’s legal told the bank manager they did not care about the law.

    So I understand.

    Still, the lawyer and his bank still can do business, when they should be herded into cattle cars for orderly disposal…ohm…ohm, I mean fined. Ever notice it seems, whoever is in power, some laws remain for the benefit of predators and the detriment of the innocent, especially the poor?

    I wonder why they raised your credit card rate to 39.9%.

    cause I had two kids in college and maxed out the credit cards, I have never been late on a payment in all my life, and had accounts with them for 25+ years, no reason for that nonsense, that is my point - they give you a credit limit and then if you use it, they penalize you for it? thankfully Obama protected us from that kinda abuse

    my credit scores are 790 and 801, but would of been even higher if not for having to close that credit card account as it reduced average length of time my accounts have been open score
