"Obama plan would aid debt collectors" October 05, 2011|By David Espo, Associated Press
WASHINGTON - To the dismay of consumer groups and the discomfort of Democrats, President Obama wants Congress to make it easier for private debt collectors to call the cellphones of consumers delinquent on student loans and other billions owed the federal government.
The change “is expected to provide substantial increases in collections, particularly as an increasing share of households no longer have landlines and rely instead on cellphones,’’ the administration wrote recently.
Yeah, this administration is looking out for you, Americans.
They are looking for every f***ing cent so they can continue to feed Wall Street, the war machine, Israel, and whatever agenda-pushing corporate campaign kickback comes calling. They don't give a f*** about you despite all the politics!
The little-noticed recommendation would apply only to cases in which money is owed the government, and is tucked into the mammoth $3 trillion deficit-reduction plan the president submitted to Congress.
Obama has tucked it to us all the last three years.
Despite the assertion, the administration has not developed an estimate of how much the government would collect, and critics reject the logic behind the recommendation.
How about CHASING DOWN some LOST BANKING BAILOUT LOOT instead?
“Enabling robo-calls [to cellphones] is just going to lead to more harassment and abuse, and it’s not going to help the government collect more money,’’ said Lauren Saunders of the Boston-based National Consumer Law Center. “People aren’t paying their student loans because they can’t find a job.’’
Yeah, this government that robs you and lies you into wars has your best interests at heart, kids.
Whatever the impact on the budget deficit, the proposal has aligned the White House with the private debt collection industry - frequently the subject of consumer complaints - at a time when the economy is weak, unemployment is high, and Obama is campaigning for reelection....
Because THAT is WHO WASHINGTON WORKS FOR!!! It is SO DAMN OBVIOUS!
That is why the KIDS are CAMPING in the CITIES!
