Guess the GOVERNMENT has to step in here too ...

After all PAYING OFF YOUR CREDIT card and living WITHIN your means is not something that is expected. No, spend, spend, spend even when you can’t afford it and then get all mad when the INTEREST RATE on your credit cards is more than you can afford ... Maybe another welfare check is needed from the GOVERNMENT so that you can SPEND SOME MORE?
Or maybe a 30 day moratorium will help so that they can delay paying for what they can’t afford? ANYTHING to keep people irresponsible.

Just don’t make those tax cuts permanent so people have their OWN money - nope dole it out when the GOVERNMENT decided it’s okay and cheat those that earn the most.

Help, I have trouble with LIBERAL LOGIC and HYPOCRISY!

I doubt at the age of 72 that Ms. Gamble charged a trip to Cancun and big screen...my guess, maybe a major appliance failed; maybe not all of her Rx's are covered (from the article, she owns her own home, so she may not be eligible for all rx discounts). I wouldn't judge...especially, if (and I am guessing they would) they back checked her payment history and found that she had infact consistently paid on time.

The tone of the article wasn't a bail out...no it was putting caps on the obscene rates that interest charges can be raised to (usury?)
