      Millions of Americans have fallen victim to predatory payday loans. Here is how we can break this vicious cycle:https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/kirsten-gillibrand-postal-banking-bill_us_5ae07f9fe4b07be4d4c6feae?ncid=engmodushpmg00000004 …

      Today, I am introducing a Postal Banking Act to give everyone access to basic banking services like checking and interest earning savings accounts, small dollar loans, and transaction services like debit cards and cash machines.

      This idea could wipe out the predatory practices of the payday loan industry overnight by providing an accessible and low cost alternative.

      Payday lending traps compound the financial struggles of many hardworking people who are struggling to get by. It makes it expensive to be poor. A simple short-term $50 loan to pay a utility bill or repair a car could end up costing 400% more to repay in just two weeks!

      The Post Office has 30,000 locations across the country, making this an efficient and elegant solution for the millions of “unbanked” and "underbanked" in communities with no options. This bill will cost taxpayers nothing, and will also strengthen the Post Office's finances.

          And, most importantly, this bill will help many low-income workers begin to save and accumulate wealth, empowering our underserved communities to build financial success for generations.

          The federal government has backed financial institutions directly & indirectly for decades with FDIC insurance, FHA backing, & bailouts. But those “for profit” banks have left too many behind. It's time to close the gap—and this time, no one will get rich on the taxpayers dime.

          This is a simple solution to a problem facing every state in this country. In 2006, payday loans were so bad that Congress had to pass a law to ban them from preying on military service members. We should offer the same protections to everyone with an alternative to endless debt.

          Financial services and payday lender lobbyists will fight this hard, but we need to fight harder. It's simple: we should put people above profit. Join this fight: Make sure your interests are represented in Congress and raise your voice.

          We want to let the Post Office handle our money because the Post Office is a shining example of well-managed efficiency?

          It will cost a ton when the default rate is higher than the rounding error interest rates you want to charge.

          It can only improve the postal service’s finances by profiting off of the poor.
