Compare false information spread by federal government
The U.S. Department of Labor, the FDIC and the Social Security Administration falsely state that employers use credit scores. BONUS: Senatorial falsity.
| By Greg Fisher
This is horrible.
The same false information is spread by three entities of the government of the United States of America: The U.S. Department of Labor, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and the Social Security Administration. #n500
And, truth fans, see the congressional BIG BLACK FRIDAY BONUS at the end!
Maintaining Credit Score Myth 2 this late in the game (and game is the right word) is indefensible. Myth 2 is the falsity that employers use credit scores. 17 years ago, all of the credit bureaus made statements that disproved the notion. If you don't know that by now, stop writing and go home. #FingerFlapping
Here goes nothing. #n551 #Whistlestop #DC #T50
Imagine the television interview: What made you do it? Who wrote those words? Do you take responsibility for it? What is your supervisor's name? Is this important to you, or is this just another day? I don't have to prove you wrong—that's not how this works: You have to prove that you are right.
Who's your daddy?

Who in Washington, if anybody, is paying attention to this FDIC social media account? #antisocialmedia
What is the name of the person who wrote, "Some prospective employers also consider credit scores when hiring"?

Employers do not use credit scores. I looked into it a long, long time ago.
I have lost the game. #falseinformation #DC #Myth2 #accountability https://t.co/E0xxReHqGt pic.twitter.com/V9BLRfJIsq
And, you, of all people, Department of Labor ... ! This is about labor!
That states, "Some employers take a person’s credit score into consideration during their hiring process." #misinformation

It is hard to quantify, but you can add those three actual, obvious, verifiable instances to the number. #Myth2
So, there it is: The breakdown of social order. Hard evidence. Plain and simple. It doesn't get any better than this. Are we doomed? Is this the Fall of Rome, or Spring in America?
BLACK FRIDAY BONUS: U.S. Senator (R-NE)

She is really going to hate this.
I mean I sure do hope so. If she doesn't, it definitely means one thing: We're screwed.
@SenatorFischer He never said that about insanity, Senator. #dotGOV #n500 #1303N https://t.co/upuBuTTviv
