Howard Dvorkin, CPA and Debt.com chairman, told GOBankingRates that you can like him or hate him, but calling Jerome Powell a dangerous man “is unsettling.” “As a CPA, I worry about such base-focused rhetoric because it distracts from our country’s real financial problems and the dispassionate math that can solve them,” Dvorkin says. “I don’t agree with everything the Fed has done over the past three decades that I’ve been a business owner and a financial counselor. But I never thought anyone in the Fed was ‘dangerous.’ Shortsighted? Sure. Bumbling? Sometimes. But dangerous? Never.”

Howard Dvorkin, CPA, advises, “Contact your landlord to discuss a deferred payment plan. This is worth a shot as most landlords do not want to pay a fee to file a lawsuit, go to court — especially with COVID still spreading — and go through the expense and hassle of finding a new tenant.”
