I'm starting to wonder if she really does have a drinking problem.

Yet this same guy admits down in the comments he’s Pro Trump and is basing his headline on “people who don’t pay their bills”.

Capping interest on CC’s for a brief period ( I’m guessing it will be something like 12 mos) is not putting anyone out of business. If a CC company can’t make money at 10 or 12% then they need to trim the fat on their executives or tighten up their credit risk.

Credit cards are just like the insurance industry….a tornado hits in Texas and does hundreds of millions of damage, and somehow the rates in SC or NC or wherever go up. Same with CC…a bunch of people don’t pay their bills, well guess what…that 30% interest rate pays for the clowns not paying their bills. So you pay your bill on time AND pay a 30% premium because others aren’t accountable. Exactly what’s wrong in this country today.

That’s as bad as Trumps answer about child care.
I disagree. Maybe the answer is the same amount of vague. But the questions are very different. Cost of living is like the #1 issue on the ballot for this election. It's the one question everyone should have an answer to.

Asking about childcare is a much more niche issue. It doesn't apply to everyone. It's an issue, don't get me wrong. But it's like asking, hey, what's your plan for charging electric cars in rural areas. Sure, it's an issue. But a President probably doesn't realistically have a plan for every possible issue the United States faces.

But the ONE FUCKING ISSUE they should have a plan about is the cost of living because it's literally impacting everyone in the worst way.

What a dumb fucking cunt. Can she not even formulate an acceptable stock answer? How long has she been doing this again?

I'm really starting to wonder if the rumors about her being drunk all the time aren't true. I say that a bit jokingly but as a man who has watched videos of hundreds of DWI's her speech sometimes sounds just like a drunk person talking.

It's a race to the bottom for votes.

We deserve better.
I agree, this is absolutely retarded. You can't cap credit card interest rates at 10%. Credit cards wouldn't even exist any longer at that rate. No one is going to give out unsecured debt that low. Do I think credit cards are used to take advantage of people who are financially desperate or dumb? Of course. But I also think credit cards are an important piece of the economy and if you destroy them you create massive problems.

This is becoming a competition of who can give out more free shit? Are you tired of your credit card bills? Gone. No money to buy a house, free $25,000.00. No babysitter money, government fund it! No taxes on tips! Student Loans? Gone!

They are getting into this bullshit where they are just promising basically free money and benefits to everyone to try to garner a vote. It's become a joke. Reminds me of some grade school election for President where they hand out free candy and promise soda machines.

My point, which of course you missed, is that both answers were a smoldering fucking pantload.

I didn't miss your point, I actually acknowledged the point that both answers were terrible but I think you miss the more obvious difference between the questions. But I get it, your response is always something about Trump. But it's a bad equivalent for the very obvious reason I pointed out. Sometimes it feels like you're trying to put the square peg in the round hole just so you can say something about Trump during every discussion.

Ok, before we make this a bigger deal than it is, the whole thing probably went down like this:

a rep from one of these commemorative coin manufacturers approached him saying, we'll give you this suitcase full of cash if you hold this coin, look into that camera and read those cue cards. 20 minutes later he walks away with enough money to buy back some of the stuff he had to sell.
