The Leftwing Conspiracy blog scanned a cute pamphlet that a payday lender is distributing to try to drum up sympathy now that there's a rate cap on loans given out to military personnel. Boohoo!
From the brochure:
At 36% APR, the total fee charged on a $100, two-week advance would be $1.38. We cannot cover the cost of originating the a loan, let alone meet employee payroll and benefits and other fixed business expenses, at this rate.It's the hard-knock life, eh?
