I think of the scene in too big to fail movie when Ben Bernanke tells the cabinet what happened when credit stopped and led to the Great Depression.
Interesting, this piece doesn’t mention how many consumers might lose access to credit entirely.

Despite how fucking insane the past week or so has been, Senate Democrats got a war powers resolution through from the minority & House Democrats got a 7th discharge petition through & are about to pass extending the ACA subsidies with a sizable chunk of Republicans despite being in the minority.
