I am so ready to get these fools out of office. Can he really be so stupid as to think a $5.00 fee unreasonable?

Has the man never used a layaway program?

Can they really be this stupid and ignorant as to not understand a layaway program?
no interest,
no overspending,
no excess shopping sprees
plus layaway actually keeps the consumer on budget?

And actually creates ‘time’ for the family as the gifts are already bought months ahead of time.

yes i am yelling!

I am so with you, but I disagree that they are fools. They aren’t fools. They’re totalitarians who think they have the right to do whatever they please. It doesn’t matter if what they propose is a good idea or not. Washington DC has no moral or legal right to tell every American how to live. We are supposed to be free people, not slaves to their whims. Again, it doesn’t matter if even a majority agrees with the totalitarians. We have a constitution to (supposedly) protect political minorities from majority oppression. I’m sure some would say it’s “criminal” to charge someone $5 for a layaway plan, but I say it’s “criminal” for Washington DC to set regulations for layaway plans that have absolutely zero to do with interstate commerce. If they can control us down to something as small as this, I ask you. Where in the world does their power end???? And, yes. I’m yelling too.

And the biggest benefit, NO minimum payment which keeps you paying interest indefinitely.

The moron has never worked retail either. There are storage and record keeping costs. And though layaway is not a credit purchase it is indeed a time and terms purchase.
