The banks pay us as a 0% interest loan. They continue to put our regular pay on our regular payday and we just give them our back pay when we get paid. This is all political posturing.

If that were true, then many would be going to jail. 0% interest is below prime and lending money below the prime rate of interest is against the law.

I would love to see where this is written down because I've never heard this.

People take 0% teaser rates all the time.

Quit talking about things you have no idea about.

We have your back with our government shutdown program.

This is a 0% interest loan equal to the amount of your net pay, from $500 to $6,000. It’s designed to help if your pay is disrupted.

I see you conveniently left out that you must apply for the "interest free" loan and that it must be paid back within 3 months or else.

Week to week must be killing your nerves. Hang in there.

I'm not a government worker, but I do have USAA so I get the updates.

You said that 0% loans are illegal. I proved that completely wrong with 1 copy and paste.
