And thats basically what the "government" is doing with the ongoing vaccination campaigns. Watch it unfold in the coming months and years. Nothing to laugh about in my opinion. |

Ah but these people are all victims you see. No-one is remotely at fault. She didn't borrow too much according the the article. Instead she was "over lent"  |

Who's laughing? This is serious. The future of our planet depends on it. People like that shouldn't be allowed to breed. |

I saw a news article on bbc world about investors in Singapore who are lobbying the government for compensation over their losses on the stock market during the financial crisis. The reasoning being that playing the stock market should be investing and not gambling. Haha. Dumb asses. |

Why didn't they allow comments on that article? I'm sure people would be queueing up to tell her what a dumb twot she is.

China effectively lent billions to the USA in cheap loans. That money found its way into the US economy through low interest rates. UK banks commonly borrow money from US banks. That money found its way to the 75inch LCD screen containing living room of Mr and Mrs Wayne Slob. That's how the financial crisis started - in China. And it ended up in the living rooms of ineducated greedy English sh1ts like the Slob family. Now China wants to spend, so it's payback time for the Slob family in their studio apartment in Staines bought on a 150% mortgage. However Mr and Mrs Slob blame the immigrants. |

I used to have two cards. One raised the rate to 35% from 9% in one jump, so I paid it off. The other one cancelled my account when I overpaid off the debt and had a couple of cents credit. You can't afford to keep a balance and they won't let you pay it off. Cash is King. |

The insinuation that poor people, or "Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Slob," are responsible for bringing multi billion dollar corporations and the world economy to the brink of collapse is absurd. |

If you make a deal with the devil, and it works out poorly for you, who's to blame??? Ah, the banks... oops, I mean the devil
Fact is, the financial crisis was caused by greed and unscrupulous people. Weather they are Joe average or corporate bigwigs, everyone was greedy. Banks extend credit hoping you can never pay it off and people take the credit knowing they can never pay it off. Who's to blame? Everyone who uses or gives credit.
At the turn of the century, 'outrageous' interest rates were about 3%, anything higher was usury and illegal. Today, 35% is legal and all the usury laws have been abolished by governments succumbing to the will of big banking industry. The poor woman in the article is right, government should do something to protect the borrower. Enforcing usury law and capping interest at 3% would be a fine start. I've often said that the prime rate should be the maximum, not the minimum a bank or credit company can charge. What power do the central banks really have by setting a minimum interest rate anyway? |

You can only truly judge a country by the way it treats the worst off people. |

The US and Europe are doing swell then. We put the worst of people in government and at the helm of our big corporations.  |
