The insinuation is all on your part. I am suggesting that the free market works quite well in the lending business. People who are going to Cash Call for a consumer signature loan are way past the sit down with your creditor stage. To suggest that they haven't explored all of their options is making what kind of an insinuation?

The free market works quite well in the lending business??? Where the hell were you in 2007 and 2008??

Refresh my memory what free market lending had a problem? The markets with problems were the one the government was knee-deep in.

When you can't debate with facts resort to insults and name calling.

Quite the opposite my friend. The years leading up to 2007 and 08 were the years the government stopped or reduced the amount of regulation, on the banking industry, thus allowing the so called "free market" you speak of to do it's damage.

So sub prime loans were just a result of "free market" forces? They were being pushed and supported by the government.
Without the mass of sub prime loans there would have been no big lending/borrowing issues.

why is it nonsense? because you say so?

No because I presented the facts which don't support your rant on the profit margins of oil companies. You are certainly entitled to your own opinion but not your own facts.

Okay -- we've reached the point of diminishing returns (diminishing interest?) here!
