Usury laws? Shouldn't be. They're bad policy based on the just price fallacy.

NOT being a "compassionate conservative", I believe that interest should reflect the risk premium related to default. If someone with a 500 rating and no collateral came to me and asked for an unsecured loan, I would say that the high double digits would be sufficient.

Even in cases such as the above, however, the borrower could get a credit card from HSBC/Orchard Bank at an APR of 32%.
