Earlier DeVos piece indicates how new regime wants to get all up-in-your-grille with mandated religious education. We humbly suggest that, before it's too late, public educators nationwide lobby for mandatory financial education, K-12; from 'how to handle your lunch money' to 'help keep Nana from being scammed by TV preachers'.
. . . okay. These people make me absolutely furious. I hate them so. I want them all to have painful hangnails, perpetually interrupted sleep, children who hate them, tires that flatten when they're in a great rush, pantyhose that always run, nail polish that never dries, vicious dandruff, and an inability to make a souffle that stays up.
Are you familiar with Faith in Texas? It grew out of the Tulia f-up. While it's been focussed in DFW, google it. They are working on a number of issues including regulating payday loans and have gotten more than 40 Tx cities include Dallas to moderate credit access egregiousness.
There is a baptist church in DFW that bought a small bank to help with these issues. Also, an arm of Catholic Charities in Dallas will buy certain payday loans, and charge just 3% interest. There are regulations on loan size eligibility. Google for more info.
The depressing thing is how much a certain stripe of the Left resembles the Right: shameless dishonesty, demonization of anyone who displeases them for any reason. What complete shits.
thank you for your work and your clarifications. had no idea.

Thank you for laying that out so clearly. I did not know any of this.
I wouldn't wish viscous dandruff on my worst enemy. Speaking for a friend.
Hey! No math!

No, I'm not, but I will Google it now. Thanks for the tip.
That's a valuable distinction, and one I plan on borrowing, with your permission.
Free range always tastes better.
By all means!
It's the Moral Economy project, which is featured under 3 or 4 other efforts.
