[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally disgusting to block protections designed to protect our servicemen and women from predatory lenders. Even more so when it benefits your lobbyist wife.

“A powerful, long-serving Republican congressman blocked a federal crackdown on predatory lenders targeting military members while his wife was working for a firm that lobbied for one of the nation’s top lender trade associations, according to financial disclosures.

Rep. Mac Thornberry of Texas was chairman of the House Armed Services Committee when he pushed to delay new restrictions under the Military Lending Act that sought to protect military service members from predatory lending practices. A study conducted by the Department of Defense found that 11% of military members had been subjected to predatory loans, leading to personnel discharges at a cost to the department of $14 million a year.”

Thornberry is retiring, but look who’s running for his seat - Dr. Ronny “Candy Man” Jackson, who was accused of creating a hostile work environment, excessively drinking on the job, and improperly dispensing medication by current and former members of the White House medical staff.
