Donnie’s response?
You should also add any Republican in Congress that has close ties with any and all banking enterprises.
What’s in your wallet?
A credit card that charges 20 - 25% APR on unpaid balances.
I know this probably isn’t under their purview but I’d like them to look into the insurance industry too, especially the car insurance thieves that run those companies. My rate went up even though I still have almost a full tank of gas since the beginning of March, have practically gone nowhere as many folks haven’t, and have not seen a single traffic accident in months reported because no one is on the fucking roads. Plus, every insurance company has promised to give back the savings to their customers they’ve gotten from lack of automotive travel and accidents, but more likely just as a PR stunt. Nah. That ain’t happening either. I sure would like to know how those fucking rate increases are calculated because its really not based on anything I do in my personal life. It reminds me of what medical insurance companies did before the PPACA made them only slightly more accountable for how one hospital charged tens of thousands for some hospital visit and another could change just hundreds for the same damn thing. Also my utilities went up and I’ve done nothing any different. Check into that shit too, would ya?
Someone is making out big during this pandemic and it sure isn’t me. All that money I got in the mail, that $1200…in one hand and back out into the mail it went to pay all those utilities and insurance companies that increased their fees during this period. Just ugh.
Do you imagine there are any without such ties?
Not even last century. Certainly not this century.
What’s in your wallet?
CapitalOne’s hand.
I’m really expressing my ire at my own Congresswoman, who is on the House Financial Services Committee, and receives big donations from Edward Jones and a bunch of payday lenders.
Enough with the letters. Write it on a piece of fancy paper and hand it to the clerk in the Senate to be filed as legislation.
I know, I know, Moscow’s Bitch. Still, the symbolic effect would be worth iy.
Meanwhile, Mnuchin is pissing away taxpayer dollars like a firehose…
Guess they gotta keep those dead GOP voters happy.
I am almost as tired of Liz Warren and Sherrod Brown’s letters as I am of Susan Collins expressions of concern.
Don’t just write letters, do something Liz and Sherrod. Seriously, you are only a few votes light, it isn’t as though the Republicans have a super majority. Build some support for real legislation.
Well my mother that died last year got a $184.00 check, I’m not refunding it.
All of them, Katie.
Busted!
She had to file taxes, so there!
“It’s nice to see people out and about in the Kingdom of God spending freely, and we’re expecting a second round of stimulus checks soon as well as a massive influx of deceased Americans, so the economy should be booming for the foreseeable future. It’s a great time to be dead!” Davies went on to admit some frustration that the $1,200 per person didn’t come close to the massive corporate giveaway Congress had approved for businesses based in Hell.
State with specificity what you expect them to “do” while they are in the minority in the Senate.
I live in Mass., and sometimes I get so tired of her bullshit that I want to drive up, kill a moose, and put its severed head in her bed, so she can wake up and then tell the moose that she is “concerned” about why it’s head is in her bed.
( if you haven’t seen the movie “The Godfather” this won’t make any sense to you)
My insurance company sent me, my daughter and my son $200 checks, so not all of them are lying about giving money back.
Car insurance? May I ask who you’re with for that?
It feels like this is what I’m dealing with when it comes to insurance these days:
