Robo-calling trumps the economy.

While the market mauls consumers, Obama meticulously mines legislative support for cell phone robo-calling.  It is not enough that nothing is happening with the debt reduction super committee or Solar-gate n California, the Debt Collectors of America have persuaded Obama that they should be able to robo-call your cell phone.  Obama has some "free" time because the economy is in such great health. 


I understand that Obama believes that these dead beats who owe money to the government or on their student loans should be legally harassed on their cell phone until they pay up. I say that if you have a student loan and you can not find a job, the loan should be forgiven, not offloaded to a deadbeat debt collector who makes a legal living having your cell phone called every 10 minutes by a computer with "This is an important message for John Doe." And further if you owe money to the government, let them deduct it from the money they owe you on your General Motors stock or your AIG stock.


Right now DCA members can robo-call your land line until you can not sleep at night, but they are forbidden to robo-call your cell phone. But if Obama has his way or the way of his backers, DCA members will be able to call your car while you are driving or call your mobile while you are fishing.


Members of congress are not in favor of this Obama backed legislation. However, it seems that Obama is reacting to some favorable economic support for his reelection campaign. Why else would Obama unilaterally support such legislation that leading democrats do not, and also why would Obama give this legislation a policy priority at the expense of consumers?


The issue to me is that at a time when American consumer needs should go first, Obama places them last. And where is that person Obama hired to watch out for consumers? Remember the Obama launch of the Consumer Protection Agency? What was his name again?


Homeowners are hurting and Obama helps the DCA robo-call us.  I wish we could robo-call Obama. "Please hold the phone, this is an important message for President Obama. When you purchased our vote several years ago. you promised to make regular payments to our well being. You have failed to make your payments on time or not at all. This is an attempt to collect a debt due."
