The bankers might not have said it in so many words, but gradually their strategy emerged: Target families who were already in a little trouble, lend them more money, get them entangled in high fees and astronomical interest rates, and then block the doors to the bankruptcy exit if they really got in over their heads.

There are a lot of things that people say about Hillary Clinton. But nobody says that she doesn't know how to throw a punch.
Elizabeth Warren

Nobody's safe. Health insurance? That didn't protect 1 million Americans who were financially ruined by illness or medical bills last year.
Elizabeth Warren

There is an ugly side to Donald Trump that we all have to stop and think about what's going on here.
Elizabeth Warren
Image
If you have a choice between buying something and paying down your credit card, pay down your credit card.

It's pretty much how we get anything added to the curriculum. When parents said children needed to be computer literate, the schools started responding. The same thing is true of basic financial literacy.

I'm really concerned that 'too big to fail' has become 'too big for trial'.

Cars, toys, aspirin, meat, toasters, water - nearly every product sold has passed basic safety regulations well in advance of being marketed and sold. But consumer credit is a kind of buyer-beware, wild west. That is partly the result of history.

Washington is rigged for the big guys - and no person has more consistently called them out for it than Jon Stewart. Good luck, Jon!
