<<Dickens and Orwell would find the 21st Century very familiar.>> Yes, they would. This is the most odious piece of legislation in the last 20 years. After cramming credit down the sheeple's gullets ad nauseum, the banksters are gonna get Uncle Sam to be their collection agency. Combine that with securitization, and it means they accept no responsibility whatsoever for their reckless practices. And the Clowngress sanctions it!

If we sentence people to Transportation where could they be sent? oldbaileyonline.org If you read the sentences of the Old Bailey 1674-1834 you see that people were routinely sentenced to death for infractions as small as stealing a loaf of bread or some tomatoes. A few months later the King's Privy Council would show the King's mercy by sentencing the condemned to Transportation to America without return upon pain of death. Once America became independent this left England without a place to send condemned prisoners until the Privy Council reluctantly agreed to underwrite the horrific expense of sending the condemned to Australia. Perhaps this explains the Bush Admin's interest in sending men to Mars.
