>>>Greenspan: Feds should leave monopolies alone<<<

A guy who thinks monopolies are OK, and usury is even better. Fortunately his main job these days is to do nothing and walk with that BSD swagger.

What the hell happened to the usury laws? Yes, I know, oil prices and Carter, originally, but what is the justification for allowing usury now?

They used to burn people at the stake for charging over 12% interest, and if you were Catholic you were excommunicated first. I say lets go back to the good old days in bank regulation. ;-)
