Consumer Advocate Offers Steps for Smart Debt Management WASHINGTON, July 14, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- With the government on track to hit its $14.3 trillion borrowing limit on August 2nd, the average consumer may feel far removed from the debt ceiling discussions currently taking place on Capitol Hill. But the federal red ink is not confined to Washington, D.C. - it spills over to Main Street as well.

Evidently JosBanks doesn't want African-Americans and other progressives to purchase clothes from their stores. TDAmeritrade apparently wants Blacks to buy and sell stocks, but from someone else. And those sun-drenched ads urging you to visit Sandals resorts in the Caribbean inexplicably don't want Blacks to go to those hotels and spas on the largely Black islands. The Video Professor objects to African-Americans ordering his products. Even the people at The Scooter Store don't want African-American seniors scooting around on their brand of scooters. At least, that's the message each of the aforementioned companies is conveying by continuing to advertise on Glenn Beck's controversial television program on the Pox network. Under pressure, more than 60 companies, including General Mills, ...

Liberal activists and academics displeased with the Obama administration's handling of several issues popular with progressives say they are seeking candidates who would be willing to debate President Obama next year as he seeks his party's nomination for re-election. The group, led by consumer advocate Ralph Nader and scholar Cornel West, said it faults Obama for the escalation of military campaigns in Afghanistan and Pakistan, for extending tax cuts enacted by George W. Bush and for his actions during the recent debt ceiling negotiations.
