There’s nothing wrong in fighting against predatory lenders, in fact it’s good. I commend him for his future plan. But Obama should take into consideration the acts of lending industries before taking the necessary action. Not all lending industries are predatory or steals money from working people. He should study first the case of these industries before giving the act.
