Vote Red
Vote Red and vote out the nazi democRATs!
The Senate Committee on Finance, Insurance, and Consumer Protection voted to advance my bill to enhance protections for people facing garnishment of their wages for collection of consumer debt.
Currently, Michigan has the worst protections in the nation for people facing garnishment. My bill, SB 408, will protect very low income people from garnishment and ensure that public benefits like the EITC are not snatched up by debt collectors. In general, if passed, SB 408 will take Michigan from the worst in the nation for debt collection protections to the middle of the pack.

That’s fantastic news! It’s great to see progress being made for those who need it most. What do you think the next steps will be for getting this bill passed?
Well if the stupid consumer spends the money they need to pay it back! So Jeff are you going to pay it back for them with your own money? Hey why don't you loan people money who owe others, that way they don't need to pay you back for 50 years as they waste money on things they don't need! YET ANOTHER STUPID ASS THING BY THE democRATS! Oh wait, now you are trying to buy votes of stupid people who spend more than they make and then don't want to pay back creditors!

Yup minimum wages goes up....nobody will be working anymore! Why just look at fast food! Where now it is not fast most of the time! Why because they can't afford to have more workers because of high cost!
In other words wasting out tax dollars on feeding 80% of the kids who's parents make enough to feed their own kids!
