I date the failing of the US political system to the date they
overturned US usury law...

Cash bail generally doesn't work and the current bail bond system is
pretty much a scam in most states. Young kids get arrested for being in
the wrong place at the wrong time and are given the choice of rotting in
jail for six months to a year or pleading to a felony for time served.
Now they have a felony on their record for the rest of their lives and
can't get a job. Meanwhile, the kid working for a drug crew gets
arrested, they bail him out, and he's back out on the street slinging
the next day with a debt over his head so he can never get out of the game.
Kudos to CA's elected reps for having the balls to do this. The bail
bond industry "donates" massive sums of money to keep their cash cow
alive. If you want to find a dirty politician at the state or local
level, just look for the ones that take a bunch of money from the bail
bond industry and payday loan scammers. I won't vote for anyone who
takes any significant amount of their dirty money.
