FRONTLINE "The Card Game" | Excerpt 1: Disclosure | PBS

[sharonafox1]

Where is Jesus Christ and his whip when you need it...didn't he drive the predatory lends out of the temple!

Sad to see this woman promote lies that are destroying our country.

[Jeanne90275]

I thought usury was illegal!



[NoticeOfDefault]

@Jeanne90275 usury is only against the law in the Bible

[lifeseeker1]

I dont understand, but most of my conservative friends hate Frontline & refuse to watch it?

[kipptumor]

@lifeseeker1 Should be obvious - conservatives love millionaires and are contemptuous towards regular people because they haven;t "worked hard" for their money in their eyes. They don't like anything that interferes with the wealthiest peoples' ability to continue to gyp the little guy or get away with being disgusting carnies in $5,000.00 suites. This woman in the clip is a grade A carny C@#T!

[lifeseeker1]

Wow, another incredible piece of work by PBS.

The young guy who's cancer was not covered by his "Health Insurance", & that caused the cascade of credit cards- credit rating - mortgage collapse - bankrupcy. So Intense.

Our health care system is barbaric.

I was questioning the presidents compentence in taking on HC 1st.

Now I understand,

[calumcoburn]

Wow! Nessa Feddis is such an arrogant bitch! She's seems the type of high flyer who cares only about making her bonus and next promotion, never looking down to ponder the millions of bodies she tramples over to get there.

@calumcoburn

Agree absolutely.

'Some customers are confused'

They are not just confused, they are trapped by ruthless practices, set up to take money from vulnerable people & bankrupt them.

The lending base rate is almost zero -& yet they get away with charging up to 30% plus other additional charges.

She is so smug with her replies. People like that are evil & yet behave as if they are doing nothing wrong.

When did we get so passive as to allow these crooks to run our countries?

[kipptumor]

@calumcoburn Hell no! In her eyes they "deserve it". Even though these carny pusbags hide the truth and have the help of mainly Republican lawmakers behind them. This is the best demonstrative, real-life example of the saying "power corrupts" or "money is the root of all evil". It certainly brings out the asshole in people mighty quick, & they forget they are people even faster.

Did someone really just quote the Bible in reference to what interest rates should be?

[fleischwolf82]

it's simple: a new law forbids extorition (let's say max. 15% APR) and giving credit to people if it will lead to excessive indebtedness.

some measurements need to be taken as americans are in huge credit card and consumer credit debts and this may put the whole economy at severe risk.

@fleischwolf82

"it's simple: a new law forbids extortion (let's say max. 15% APR)"

15%? The Bible said tithing should only be 10%, so why should freakin' banks get more than churches that are there to help people -- especially the poor (well, in theory anyway)?
