A solution?

March 11, 2009 | Kentucky, industry, regulation | Comments (0)

The Louisville Courier News editorial writers weigh in with what they call a “solution”: 

Consumer advocates promote the federal solution — a 36 percent limit on the annual percentage rate charged for short-term payday loans. That approach also has been adopted by 15 states.

Wrong.  Fifteen states have NOT adopted a 36% rate cap.  And the only thing 36% rate caps solve is diminishing competition and reducing jobs.
