With respect to S019 it's not as if the economy wouldn't realistically be bleeding out of several orifices at the point where this bill begins inconveniencing the Federal Reserve. Their current powers wouldn't do much if that actually were to happen.
That doesn’t not make it a dumb bill. Creditors have every right to charge high interest on risky loans, since those loans may not be repaid. This is just finding a solution to a non-existent problem. Quite disingenuous to see this from the party that claims to support small government and free enterprise, what happened to conservative values?
