"...The inmates are running the asylum!!"

If the inmates have the political power it will work that way.

It true that the same argument has been made against territories in insurance ratings. The critics would say minoritites tend to live in particular areas and therefore are singled out. But the use of territories has held because if a minority lives in a cheaper territory they will obtain the cheaper rate.

I am sure the people who use credit checks will fight to continue and some of them like the insurance companies have the resources to make a fight of it.

Please don't confuse the power of inmates with top-down legal innovations from the Commies. We can't get to a Free Republic without understanding who is destroying it.

They use credit checks to set insurance rates too.

Having good credit get you a discount at most auto insurance companies.

People with good credit seldom set their car on fire because they can't make the payments.

Yes, but I think property insurance is - and insurance companies - a different kind of cat. Here in FL we have a big scandal with unjustified increases because of our hurricanes. Our new Republican governor, Charley Crist, is going to conduct a thorough investigation. I was referring to the routine individual credit checks that have always been a part of all business and commerce.
