The obligations that they would undertake
Ahhh yes, why don’t they just take out payday loans, the whiners.
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross says he does not understand why federal employees who are furloughed or have been working without pay during the partial government shutdown would need assistance from food banks.
Right? Right? Everybody has a few mill in the savings account for times like this, yeah? Why don’t they just use that money for now?
“I know they are, and I don’t really quite understand why,” Ross said when asked on CNBC about workers getting food from places like shelters. “Because, as I mentioned before, the obligations that they would undertake, say borrowing from a bank or a credit union are in effect federally guaranteed.”
And all anybody has to do to borrow from a bank is just waltz in and demand a few thousand bucks. It’s that easy. Paying the interest is easy too. It’s all just one big piece of Easy Cake.
Navy Credit Union is offering interest-free loans, but only to members who have direct deposit.
So yeah, surprisingly a member of this administration is full of shit.
(Secretary Ross, next time you see the cleaning crew in your office, ask why they didn’t get loans to get through the shutdown.)
