well, in theory usury is illegal, but current credit card interest rates would qualify by most standards, especially given the interest rates on other loans. politicians are great, everyone should own one! (and big companies usual own a piece of several). there never has been any real correlation between legality, morality, and reasonableness, those who think otherwise should spend some time watching trials at their local court house, it's truly amazing. personally i recommend the justice factory in boulder colorado (aka the boulder county court house) where for traffic violations they usually have 4 assistant d.a.s cutting deals simultaneously in a small room where you can hardly tell who is saying what. criminal and civil law are even more of a joke, and administrative law allows anything to happen, been there, done that.
