Poll question: Which "industry" will be the next to fail due to the GOP economic policies?
First the GOP gutted housing, which cut many middle-class families out of their homes.

What will be next?

1. Credit cards. Deregulation of interest rates in the Reagan years
set the stage for what they're about to do to us very soon now. Actually, they've already started with their latest wave of usury. People with no money will turn to CCs in desperation & then will be unable to pay them off.

2. Commercial property. Lots of bankrupt businesses = empty office parks and malls.

3. Food banks ...
people are going to them a lot more and many are running out or empty. I did a post yesterday about food auctions. Homes, now food.

4. We know that the prostitution and illegal drug industries are kept afloat by GOP policies
Never let it be said that the GOP doesn't help out the small business owner.
