Tyler Durden at ZeroHedge writes of credit card debt. While card companies charge legal but usuriou rates, Pelosi passes a resolution against hate. But is it okay to hate usury?

A thing, not people. Link. Why might Congressional leadership favor resolutions, feel good ones, over reform of lending abuse?

I cannot answer that. I only have a question. With 54% of past due credit card arrearges reported there for folks 50 yr. old or older, - - -

What's in Pelosi's portfolio?

UPDATE: GEE. The bet is better people at websearch than the skill set here, could muster up some more current numbers; Crabgrass having only this dated stuff: here and real estate perhaps having taken a hit a few years ago, e.g., here vs here, but when you're in the upper 0.1% how you speak as Speaker might be against class hate, among other species of disturbances.

Kumbaya. Yes, yes! It's just some folks have a lot more Kumbaya than 99.9% of others.

FURTHER: My bet, Nancy is always current on her credit card account. What odds would you want to take the other side of that bet? Likely having much sympathy, in the abstract, for the proles in her sphere of acquaintances, despite their troubling impatience over this or that.

FURTHER: A websearch. Returned items relate mainly to the 2011 time frame. More curent information regarding Visa holdings was not found.

60 Minutes.

FURTHER: More recent, here and here. Showing a heavy options bet on Bezos. Amazon, not WaPo.

FURTHER: Politico. Pelosi has not released her tax returns. Should she? As third in succession to the Presidency behind President and Vice President?
