Wonder why our Seattle delegation to the State is fighting so hard to hurt Seattle?

I just read the title of this post, I just assumed it was Yet Another Story From ECB about the Clintons.

I suggest Sharon Tomikos-Santos, who is very left, and I live in her District --- I think she is more in touch with the folks in her district than the very well paid liberal city council members.

At times poorer folk need cash, like for rent and food. Tom and the other upper middle class crusaders are NEVER in that place.

A few more bucks of cost for the money is incidental to the great need. But of course, the poor can't manage their money or think well.

The middle class who pay credit card monster banks 26-31 percent interest are so fucking money management shrewd. That is where the real big time public extortion is taking place. Immoral rates on credit cards - look into it Erica.

Table the topic for the long session next year.

(And, yes, a pay day loan once saved my ass big time - well worth the fees)

Larkin, I defy you to find a responsible person who pays 26-31% who hasnt missed a payment or hasnt gone over their limit.
