Frist reminds me of an undertaker.
Actually you can ... it's called cash.
With regard to the bankruptcy reform questions, you are right. With regard to all transactions, if you did the necessary due diligence to bullet proof yourself during the purchase process, then little would get transacted. Insuarnce matters, investment matters, housing transactions, even food purchases.
How would you extend credit to poor and dumb people?
If you give them credit, you know that most of them will default. So you charge a higher interest rate. Or would you just lend them money and lose your own money year after year?
The people you mentioned have two options, high rates or no credit at all.
My sister recently paid off some huge credit bills and she was persuaded by folks (Liberals bielieve it or not.) to declare bankruptcy. She did not and paid them all off. You can get balance transfers you know. I myself am in a bind due to bad business decisions I made earlier in the year. It IS stressing me out and I have bitched about certain policies of my creditors.
So enact all of the policies you want, the bottom line is that you would not loan money to a bad risk demographic without a high interest rate as you would lose money.
Aw hell. I am not making much sense but at least see the other side's view and if you honestly hate them, you have at least taken an honest look at the Credit companies.
Arioch7 out!
A three-toed Sloth could ambush Ol' Dick Lugar
Perhaps not in this article...but there has been NO SHORTAGE of borders and illegal immigration on her show. She and Rush seem to be the only ones really talking about it.
Think about this: the GOP is spending the country into deficits, yet signed a bill punishing citizens who want to file bankruptcy.
Have you heard, Laura is having surgery for breast cancer? JD Hayworth is filling in for her, and she called in on her way to surgery.
WANTS EVERYONE'S PRAYERS
ME, ME, ME!!!!
I don't expect Bill "Grapeless" Frist to do anything unless there is LEADERSHIP from 1600.
It's well past time people for the majority party to start acting like it, and I am sick of democrat party acting like they are owed anything.
LEADERSHIP! Now.
Oh, is THAT what was going on? I only caught a few minutes of the show, I heard JD Heayworth, and I heard something about prayers for Laura's recovery, but I never heard what was going on. Thanks.
I will have her in my prayers.
You wish!
Of course, I'm a mite more silly.
Laura is right. We are damn angry with these jellyfish republicans who only care about themselves rather than the people that elected them.
