3. I read something somewhere that in politics nothing happens by accident. You
can be sure it was planned that way... ""More than a third of all U.S. states allow borrowers who can't or won't pay to be jailed. Judges have signed off on more than 5,000 such warrants since the start of 2010 in nine counties with a total population of 13.6 million people, according to a tally by The Wall Street Journal of filings in those counties. Nationwide figures aren't known because many courts don't keep track of warrants by alleged offense. In interviews, 20 judges across the nation said the number of borrowers threatened with arrest in their courtrooms has surged since the financial crisis began."


I wonder why borrowers didn't get a bail out via the tarp money? That whole deal was suppose to be able to get money to mainstreet. However, it looks like they are locking up mainstream..
