The Uninsured
I saw an ad on TV last night (while learning about the history of drug addiction on the History Channel). It was sponsored by the AMA but highlights the health care crisis in the United States. 1 out of 7 people does not have health insurance. This is bound to be a major topic in…
Payday Lenders Suck
I was just reading in the Deseret News this morning that payday lenders have filed 27,000 lawsuits in the State of Utah since 2005. In the Provo judicial district this account for 81% of the total lawsuits. It is bad enough that these places prey on the poor with 500% interest loans. It is yet…
