odd, but when we go through times like what we've gonee' vethrough lately, for some peop, it's harder for them to get a loan, so they go to services that are charging higher than the average rate.erag >> we have a terrible problem in this country. for thoughts -- thousands of years, going back to 1700 bc, there have been limits onli interest rate, and every civilization. we thought we don't need interest rates, so we dee regulate markets, and that's created the productions that are like crack cocaine for people.op there have been changes in law moving forward that is going to crack down on some lenders, but they're out there now, and easy to get end snared in. >> there's a lot of information
