White House Takes Aim At Financial Protections For Military

August 13, 20185:00 AM ET

CHRIS ARNOLD
The Trump administration is taking aim at a law designed to protect military service members from getting cheated by shady lending practices.

NPR has obtained documents that show the White House is proposing changes that critics say would leave service members vulnerable to getting ripped off when they buy cars. Separately, the administration is taking broader steps to roll back enforcement of the Military Lending Act.

The MLA is supposed to protect service members from predatory loans and financial products. But the White House appears willing to change the rules in a way that critics say would take away some of those protections.

"If the White House does this, it will be manipulating the Military Lending Act regulations at the behest of auto dealers and banks to try and make it easier to sell overpriced rip-off products to military service members," says Christopher Peterson, a law professor at the University of Utah, who reviewed the documents.

1. Many of the service members that this law protects are young people who are out on their own for the

first time in their lives, with more income than they've ever had before and have no experience in handling their own finances, much less know what shady business practices to look out for. If you've ever been near a military base, you have probably noticed that there is an abundance of car dealers, loan companies, etc. located right outside the main gates where they are so convenient for the service members and flashing big signs with military friendly messages.

3. That's right...the first things out of the gate. The dirty predators.

16. You forgot

pay-day lenders, pawn shops, tattoo parlors, bars and whore houses (which are often in the same building).

[Sophia4]

21. Good points!

[Docreed2003]

27. Exactly this...I've seen it first hand

And those regulations helped to limit a lot of that type of predatory lending. This move will only serve lenders at the expense of service members

[rusty quoin]

2. No surprise there. Ripping off is like breathing to shit face.

[Demovictory9]

20. yes

[Bernardo de La Paz]

4. Rs: Support troops enough for photo ops & defense corporate welfare. Otherwise, tough. . . . nt

[Achilleaze]

5. republican Draft-Dodger-in-Chief again pissing on military personnel

no freaking five-time republican draft dodger should be in "charge" of anything.

Disgusting what republicans are doing to our military, steadily working to undermine and weaken America. Disgusting.

[Permanut]

6. And some still vote for him..

This is another clear example of Mango Mussolini shitting on the military. And once again I wonder how it could be that ONE military or veteran would vote for him.

[calimary]

9. And it's only a matter of time before he screws them, too.

[Haggis for Breakfast]

17. Excuse me . . . . .

WHERE have YOU been ? He's been screwing active military and veterans over since he got into office.

I'd provide you with a full-fledged list (and yes, I have one), but it will only piss me off, make me scream and yell, upset my dog, wake up the household, disturb my neighbors, raise my blood pressure and have me reaching for my Xanax.

24. Be nice.

[calimary]

28. Merely further proof of how negative an effect The Asset has on people!

Makes me tear my hair too, Haggis for Breakfast. I'm surprised I still have teeth - for all the gritting and grating I do with them over this monster.

[safeinOhio]

10. He might want to think about this,

many of them are trained marksmen.

[aggiesal]

13. And ...

Secret Service will be knocking on your door, within the hour.


Forgot the sarcasm thingee!

[LiberalBrooke]

15. Why in the world would any military personnel vote for him?

I can’t believe anyone looks at that fool and says that is who they want as their commander in chief. It truly stumps me why they voted for him.

[AllyCat]

25. According to my sister, Hillary had too much baggage.

[heaven05]

7. well he is a coward

and a snake in the grass who with the help of powerful individuals slithered into office. He wants morale low for total control. He wants the service member angry for the war he plans on starting? He'll offer another type of carrot soon.

[IronLionZion]

8. Support the troops by screwing them

Any business deal with Trump will always be shady. He believes cheating people means they are stupid and he's smart. I hate people who think this way. As if being dishonest and manipulative is a sign of intelligence.

[Corgigal]

11. Banks appear to be ready

to make those bribes, they won't do a thing without cause. The cause is the kickback.

[gratuitous]

12. Wouldn't it be nice if ALL citizens were protected from these sharpsters?

If your business model depends on ripping people off, maybe it would be a good idea if the laws and the regulations didn't support that? Like, if the penalty for ripping off your customers was serious enough (jail time and impoverishment), maybe lenders and banks wouldn't take the plunge on predatory lending practices?

[SWBTATTReg]

14. Now we know of all of the shady characters who hang around rump while he's at his ...

golf courses. All of these lowball scumbags, who think constantly of nothing but how to scam their next dollar or buck off of all of us (normal American citizens, not the 1%).

When rump and cronies are finally kicked out of office, multiple task forces must be established to track down and fix the damage(s) that these scumbags caused, and convict those guilty of treason to the USA by enacting pseudo laws such as this (not passed by Congress but by presidential edict).

[OMGWTF]

18. And yet, most of the Military will vote for the Screwer-in-Chief.

My son is full-time USCG and only he and his lesbian CO are Democrats. He tells me every day how hard it is to be locked in a room with the slow learners.

[Cha]

22. While I heard soldiers were cheering him

at his rally when he was pushing his propaganda on "fake news".. which is him.

[McCamy Taylor]

23. This is what happens when the Mob runs the country.

[Deb]

26. Military members know their security clearances require good finances

But their dodging CIC is obviously ignorant or simply doesnt care.
