Hell, who isn’t!?
I doubt that any effort on my own behalf, or by a credit counselor would even begin to budge a behemoth financial institution's ultra-conservative customer service representatives .
And why should they even care?
Fat cats, resembling feline appartions of the Cheshire cat from "Alice in Wonderland," they simply seem to grin on and on, and show their stripes and presence as they please, or , at will.
Yes, cartoons aside, all of the common citizens of the United States are feeling the pressure - and bearing the brunt of it all risking homes and jobs!
At the liquor store, where I might usually blithely produce a credit card, I proferred cash and bought less than I would have liked.
Then I asked the Korean lady at the register if fewer people were using credit cards today?
"Oh yes." said she. And I caught a glimplse of an unhappy grimace.
And then I exited the store, more pensive and worried than before.
And so, arriving at my computer, I had just read today's "Oped News," and decided I should speak out.
It’s much like the movie "Network": "I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore!
But, like you, I have only free speech and the ballot for recourse.
One can hardly expect legal "due-process" in such financial matters. It is much like my uncle and dad used to say, when they were so frequently laid off from their railroad jobs during Republican administrations. While Eisenhour golfed, or Tricky Dickey lied, they were at a loss for what they termed "The God Almighty Buck!"
As for me, I am, literally 'out of pocket and at a loss.'
And how about you?
Looking for a loophole with your money? A mattress?
