What business does Washington DC have with layaway plans? These JERKS will stop at nothing to rule every single aspect of our lives if we do not do something to stop them...SOON!
Surely Chuckie has better things to do than worry about layaway programs. But, I suppose this will get his ugly mug on TV for a few minutes under the guise of doin sumthin for the people.
The Schumckster’s owned by the credit card companies.

He’s an ASS.
First thing I see on Free Republic while my tea is steeping is this ... Inane Cr*p. I haven’t had the need to use Layaway for some years now. But if I remember right the fee was for the entire purchase being laid away to pay for the warehouse space being utilized by the customer.
As far as credit cards go... The current interest rates are insane. Cash only has been my motto for several years now.
They are “nudging” us into a cashless society. Easier to control us if we are forced to use credit cards. Our needs will be rationed. Remember the lines for bread (and everything else) in the USSR? That’s coming here.
Considering the amount of interest and possible over-limit or late fees, $5 is cheap! Besides, if that’s the arrangement I want to make, that’s between me and the store.
When I first heard this story yesterday, it dawned on me that the best thing we could do as a nation, is give these communist control freaks, more vacation.
Like, maybe 50 weeks a year.
The problem with “lawmakers” is, they always make more laws.
Never. Ever. For any reason, to they remove any old laws, they just keep making more. Eventually we as a nation will have no freedoms left.
Because of “lawmakers”. We have too many laws already.
Give them all the year off.
Ditto, therefore I put them in binary:

I have to guess that “Chucky” thinks that these stores have thugs with whips and clubs, driving customers to the layaway counter in droves.
You just gotta love the absolute lack of common sense.
First, if you can’t afford it don’t buy it. Second, if you can’t afford it charge it on your up to the limit credit card, and finally, Third, If you can’t afford it lay it away, bend over and take the financial punishment.
That’s freedom to choose.
If you don’t have the money for said toy then you shouldn’t purchase it. Its called being responsible with your money.
I guess what we need is another law or regulation, right? And little Chuckie is just the guy to give it to us.
He knows that under government regulatory control, the big boxes will simply drop layaway, many of which have only brought it back in the latter half of this decade.
Still, it isn't the preferred way to buy small ticket items.
Let’s have a look at the stock purchase records of everyone in the US Senate.
That’s assuming that someone would put ONE ELMO doll on layaway.
If you spend $150 on your kids for Christmas, that $5 is actually only 3%.
GAH!
Schumer is concerned with Christmas economic activity turning a huge sales month in December. This is based purely on his desire to get Obama a December bump in the economy, the same way as Christmas hiring gave Obama a bump in employment last month.
