The current Ohio Governor Ted Strickland is attempting to persuade Ohio citizens to vote YES on House Bill 545. House Bill 545 was enacted without the voice of the people earlier in the year. If approved, the bill would limit the annual interest rates charged by no fax payday loan companies to 36 percent. In other words, for every $100 that a lender issues to a customer, the lender would make just over a dollar in profit. Assuming that no business can possibly survive by making just over a dollar per transaction, House Bill 545 would drive the entire payday loan industry out of Ohio. According to his campaign promises, democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is trying to implement the same rate cap across the United States. Should Obama be elected our next president, chances are the bill will pass. Without access to payday loans or cash advances, people will find it even harder to make ends meet in tough times. If people receive smaller paychecks than they’re accustomed to or if life throws them one of its little surprises, hitting financial rock bottom is nearly unavoidable. Such bills remind us of the importance of voting and having our voices heard.

I’m pretty sure that’s the point of the bill. Those payday loan companies are worthless.
I’ve been late on bills...I just didn’t pay them until I had the money. When is it ever necessary for someone to have a large sum of cash immediately? Hint: It’s not to pay the heating bill.
It will go on, happily or unhappily as we see it.

Dude says that like it’s a bad thing. >36% interest is the kind of usury the Mafia and even credit-card issuers balk at.
How much the “industry” makes on a particular short-term loan is irrelevant: if you’re raking in ~40% on your firm’s aggregate capital, you’re making out quite well, so take your corporate sob story elsewhere please.
Vice Presidential candidate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, has been getting more and more negative responses from the mainstream media. Palin made a late-night entertainment debut on NBC’s long-running pop culture mainstay, Saturday Night Live. Instead of getting the positive response she’d expected for being a good sport, she was severely criticized for her appearance by the press. For several weeks, hits and blows have been thrown out at Palin, condemning everything she does and questioning her performance, not only as the Governor of Alaska, but as a possible VP for the United States of America. They have even enlarged the story of her seventeen-year old daughter who got pregnant out of wedlock to use as another weapon against the Vice Presidential candidate. Some in the media, including many liberal experts, are insinuating that our country will crumble if Palin was forced to take over the office if anything should happen to Presidential hopeful, Senator John McCain. In contrast to the across-country belief, a large number of people have distinguished all of the low-blowing character attacks and lies relayed about Palin, appreciating the good work she has done and continues to do for the children and people of special needs, and her support of the disabled demographic in general. Many more are in favor of the Republican Vice Presidential Candidate, considering her support for personal responsibility and financial freedom. This includes her contest against the obliteration of cash advances, a legitimate resource that many responsible, hard-working citizens have relied on to avoid the cycle of debt many of us are facing because of the lack of financial support during unforeseen events.

With just less than one week left until we find out who will be our Commander in Chief for the next four years, there are new controversies surrounding both the Democrat and Republican camps. News sources are excited to report that the Republican National Committee spent upwards of $150,000 on new clothes for Vice Presidential Candidate Sarah Palin. While this story has been circulating, inspiring an avalanche of negative publicity, anti-Republican attacks, and the like, I am not rolling with this tide. As a matter of fact, considering that both Palin and Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama have spent large sums of money on clothing, it doesn’t make me disrespect or respect one more than the other. After all, we live in a society where looks, more than anything else, are the prime things that we judge people on. If you have one candidate in designer duds, but somebody else who looks as if they’ve gotten their entire wardrobe from the Wal-Mart clearance rack, the latter won’t be taken seriously. And, besides, look at the attention Sarah Palin is getting with her wardrobe. It doesn’t seem like such a bad political move. They spent a lot less on Sarah’s wardrobe than Obama spends on TV commercials. In the end, I really hope that the American people will judge the candidates on the issues, and vote for the candidate that supports Americans’ right to freedom for personal financial responsibility and the continued rights to no fax payday loans.
