There has been a lot of news around the term “quid pro quo”…some see the evil in this practice while others do not see the need to worry…..I recently saw where the thief known as a “pay day loan” CEO had to say about the Trump White House….
Offering what one observer called “a crystal clear picture of how money buys influence in U.S. politics,” leaked audio obtained Tuesday by consumer watchdog group Allied Progress showed executives from some of the largest payday lenders in the U.S. boasting about how they have used campaign donations to purchase access to President Donald Trump’s White House.
One of the audio clips posted online by Allied Progress features Advance Financial founder and CEO Michael Hodges explaining how his donations to Trump’s presidential campaign have given him the power to contact the White House about desired policy changes.
“When you go and speak to the administration through the campaign, they will listen,” said Hodges. “For example, I’ve gone to [Republican National Committee Chairwoman] Ronna McDaniel and said, ‘Ronna, I need help on something,’ she’s been able to call over to the White House and say, ‘Hey, we have one of our large givers. They need an audience. They want, they need to be heard. And you need to listen to them.'”
I am NOT saying that Trump is the only White House where “quid pro quo” has played a roll….it is there in all elected presidents…..give money get the position you want…..no matter it is still a pathetic practice…….

PayDay loan lenders are pure evil. Fortunately, restrictions on excessive interest rates have all but eliminated them over here.
