Trump economy: Americans need “buy now-pay later” loans to finance their groceries
For some American consumers, “buy now, pay later” loans aren’t just for big-ticket items like televisions and vacations. They’re for groceries, too.
When Tia Hodge stocked up at her local Kroger in early April, her bill was nearly $400. At checkout, she scanned her app from Klarna, a buy now, pay later company that offers short-term loans. Klarna paid the grocery store for the 71 items in the cart. Mrs. Hodge split her payments to Klarna into four installments of about $100, with zero interest.
“Food prices have skyrocketed,” said Mrs. Hodge, of Austell, Ga., who plans how much she’ll spend on each trip to the grocery store based on her cash flow and other expenses that month, including credit-card debt and student loans. Being able to spread out the payments for groceries has helped her family of four — soon to be five — budget better, she said.
Mrs. Hodge, 29, is hardly alone. Nearly a quarter of consumers using buy now, pay later loans finance groceries, up from 14 percent a year ago, according to a recent LendingTree survey. And it’s not just groceries; more Americans are using these loans to pay for recurring monthly bills, such as electricity, heat, internet and streaming services like Hulu.

The American people are borrowing to finance their weekly. Groceries while the Federal government goes a trillion dollars deeper into debt every 60 days and inflation soars.
The Trump solution? Borrow even more money to send everyone a $2,000 “tariff refund” check.

Tia Hodge is an obese black woman.
She should simply eat less.
Her family would have more money, and she would be less obese.

Well, yes. But this thread is NOT based on facts. It merely suggests that people do stupid economic things, and then blame THEIR ENEMY, Our wonderful President Trump.
Don't worry. They'll JUST AS STRONGLY blame the next conservative President, to be elected in 2028. It happens every time. This nonsense is nothing new.

These days they're being trained to blame your generation, Tom, all of you. The boomers, who are wealthy and have nice things.
thats the lonely conservative, white youth, harboring a resentment over boomers, your regeneration, having their money and homes.
It's not blacks it's not a liberal thing, it's lonely white youth. You need a scout troop Tom, they need your guidance.
