Trump promised to cap credit card interest rates at 10%. He's failed to deliver.
A report from @BorrowerJustice & @TCFdotorg shows the damage: a record number of Americans trapped in credit card debt as banks rake in record profits.

This week, #EducationForAll children is under attack by @judiciarygop and some Tennessee lawmakers.
A @judiciarygop subcommittee is hosting a hearing attacking the 1982 SCOTUS decision, Plyler v. Doe, that holds that all children have a right to a free public K-12 education. /1

More than a hundred million Americans can't pay off their credit card balances, the war with Iran is jacking up families' monthly bills, and the head of the National Economic Council is saying consumers are "the last of our concerns right now."

Hassett: "If the war were to be extended, it wouldn't really disrupt the US economy very much at all. It would hurt consumers, and we'd have to think about what we'd have to do about that, but that's really the last of our concerns right now."

Good morning to everyone except Jamie Dimon and Donald Trump.
111 million Americans can’t afford to pay off their credit card bill each month.
They are being clobbered by banks charging record high interest rates.

Trump promised a cap on credit card rates. Instead, he delivered a giveaway to credit card companies at your expense. Former CFPB Director Rohit Chopra (@ChopraUSA) explains.

We need leaders who are actually going to lower costs and make life more affordable for families, not prioritize credit card banks and their shareholders. You can read our whole report here: tcf.org/content/report…

In a shock to no one, Trump backed off his promise to cap credit card interest rates at 10% and continued to jack up prices through tariffs and dumb wars. Since he took office, Americans have paid $134.5 billion more than they would have under the promised 10% cap.

This new report from @TCFdotorg and @BorrowerJustice isn't only about cost of living in America. It's about an economy where our leaders think they only the top 10% need to thrive in order to keep the economy strong. Everyone else becomes fodder for big bank profit margins
