Meanwhile, excessive credit card debt, misguided loan debt, and just generally irresponsible spending are rampant among Americans.

you don't think the predatory lending has anything to do with the global corporate fascist agenda?

+1

You cant blame the citizens aside from the fact that they haven't revolted and thrown out the corrupt politicians for the debt based financial institutions created to ensure monopolies.

This is classic divide and conquer. Blame the people for being exploited haha.

It takes two parties to create a predatory loan:

1. A predatory lender.

2. A greedy dipshit who is too irresponsible to handle their own finances.

There are and were lots of both.

gerrymandering more than a conspiracy

it's a fact of life for those in office

Think about it. We are in it kids.

[Ephirith]

The first two.

"Unfortunate" is absolving yourself of any responsibility or self-determination, which is decidedly undemocratic, don't you think?

because you can control the events in your life. you will always have 100% health and at no point can you be laid off at the whim of your employer (or their stock holders).

When you have the freedom to control your own financial destiny, you're subject to everything that entails. Smart people are cautious, and allot the best they can for the unforeseen. And guess what? People with surprise medical conditions and surprise layoffs didn't account for even a small fraction of all the financial insolvency the last couple of years.

Too many people didn't save money, accumulated debt, and bought shit they didn't need and couldn't afford, then blamed the banks and government when they lost everything. Those people deserve paternal totalitarianism, and their behavior is very conducive to it. "I didn't make a mistake. The government was supposed to protect me!"

all of the pre-approved credit card spam, all of the everybody gets a loan car dealerships, they're not designed to help out the people on the bottom. they're designed to trap people who cannot afford them into things they will eventually miss a payment on (or worse), and the second it happens, here comes the sharks.

but they should be more educated to know better? it's too bad that our education is ran by the same system that is profiteering from our bad loans.

our system is designed for the poor to stay poor and for the rich to get richer, and the people in our government are on board with it.
