Military personnel protected from payday lenders
There is an unpatriotic segment of the population that has been thriving by ripping off members of our military with usurious loans. Clark thinks it's disgusting that the soldiers who lay their lives on the line for our freedom are being taken advantage of by scum. This issue directly impacts our national security when military personnel can't deploy because they're burdened by mountains of debt and can't get security clearance. Some of these locust payday lenders have been stationing themselves outside of military posts and making loans with interest rates beginning at 390 percent! Many military recruits have fallen for this because they're young and not sophisticated in the ways of finance. Congress previously outlawed these sickening loan practices, but only now has the Pentagon formalized rules to protect the young men and women in our military. It is now a federal crime for a payday lender to rip off a soldier. The rules also extend to loans offered to the spouses of soldiers. Other provisions of the new rules ensure that soldiers will soon have access on their posts to financial advice 24/7 and extra low-cost loans.
