DB, I listened to that story over the weekend. It's just another of those stories that make you want to cry.

[DailyBail]

Which story?

[SKINFLINT]

The California story. With the 100 bn pay off. The one guy almost sounded giddy when talking about not leaving the 25 mill on the table. It was completely bizarre to me. It just never seems to end for these effin criminals. Talk about enslavement. The children of the children that are now going to schools there are the ones to pay for it. For God's sake. I am still reading through Ms. Fitts piece. I can only take so much at a time. But damn.

[DailyBail]

Agreed on the Cali story. The govt mismanagement is absolutely ridiculous. Everyone should read this.

Boobs aplenty with raised hand in celebration of the piece prize. What nitwittery. Let's not forget Ms. Merkel either. The worlds first transgendered leader. Really just what a phallicy.

Was Merkel supposed to look like somebodys frumpy grandmother. I mean really, she is supposed to be a head of state not someone who looks like she pulled her outfit off the rack of Wal Mart. Maybe she owns stock or something. The French guy could use a bra.

The Trouble With Democrats

American Usury

One of the fundamental issues that party managers wished to avoid was the scandal of American usury. Usury is the ancient sin of charging inflated interest rates sure to ruin the borrowers. It is considered immoral by Judaism, Christianity and Islam because usury involves the powerful using their wealth to ensnare weak and defenseless borrowers. The classic usurer offers an impossible choice that debtors cannot easily refuse. If they reject the terms of the loan, they will not be able to pay the rent or buy necessities. If they accept the usurious interest rates, their debts will accumulate until they are bankrupted (at which point the creditors claim their property). No civilized society can endure in such conditions.

Usury used to be illegal in the United States but it was "decriminalized" in 1980--the dawn of financial deregulation. A Democratic president and Congress repealed all interest-rate controls and the federal law prohibiting usury. Thirty years later, American society is permeated with usurious practices--credit cards charging 30 percent and higher, subprime mortgages and other forms of predatory lending, the notorious "payday" loans that charge desperate working people an effective interest rate of 500 percent or more. Businesses, especially smaller firms, are also prey to usury in less direct ways.
