A Resolution Concerning Customer Credit Abuse

1   Whereas, our materialistic consumer mentality has prompted Americans to buy now and pay later,

2                       and

3   Whereas, credit has become easier and easier to acquire, and 

4   Whereas, more Americans are finding themselves in debt beyond their ability to repay, and 

5   Whereas, stricter regulations imposed on personal bankruptcies have done little to stop credit abuse 

6                       and has not curbed escalating personal financial ruin, and 

7   Whereas, consumers have blamed predatory lenders for their financial situation and expected the 

8                       government to come to their rescue, and 

9   Whereas, poor credit habits often start when young adults model their parents' spending habits, 

10                       therefore, 

11   Be It Resolved by the Student Congress here assembled that: 

12                       all school curriculums include mandatory credit and personal finance education to 

13                       teach young adults the importance of understanding credit use and risks, end 

14   Be It Further Resolved that: adults who suffers bankruptcy or credit abuses that impact ability to 

15                       effectively manage money must undergo mandatory credit and personal finance counseling, 

16                       subject to regulation by an appointed consumer credit advisor for two years before they can 

17                       acquire any government subsidized credit.
