It is disgusting to me.
This is the Christmas season.
If Jesus were alive today, he would not be preaching against the tax collectors. He would be preaching against the hedge fund operators, the big bank crooks and the cruel debt collectors and not so much them as individuals as against the system run by lowly politicians and regulators that allowed and allows the system of indebtedness from student loans to mortgages to car loans to all the debt that people take upon themselves at the urging of the devils who run our financial sector. He would be preaching against Hillary's biggest donors.
It is hideous.
And now, we move into the Christmas season, the time of year when Hillary's donors and personal friends sell debt to Americans under the guise of the Christmas spirit.
Sorry guys, there is nothing Holy about buying Christmas gifts if you have to borrow the money to do it and pay interest of 26% after Christmas to pay for the darn junk.

I saw what happened between 2005 and 2008. It was immoral. It was a scheme. I watched it unfold. I now see the damaged hearts and lives. Some of them are my friends and family.
Is Hillary blind to what happened? Did she not see that her friends, some of them, caused the downward spiral that many are still caught up in?
I want to make it clear that I am not complaining about my own situation. I saw what was happening and avoided the worst of it. I am talking about people I know and the pain they suffer -- lost homes, lost businesses, the feeling of guilt for losing out when THEY did nothing wrong. It was a scheme not over-exuberance. It was stupidity at the helm of our economy. Stupidity and a foolish, simplistic, misguided economic viewpoint.
Sorry fpr the emotional rant, but it is very frustrating to see Americans once again making a huge mistake.
Hillary is a huge mistake. She is not bright enough to see past the shiny objects and the dollar bills that her friends in the financial sector wave before her eyes. And her moral sense is not strong enough to be quietly outraged by what has happened.
Vote for Hillary if you want to keep the banks and their schemes in charge.
Feel the Bern!
