Great blog by Arizona’s Expresso Pundit on the irony of the Arizona Republic publishing an editorial praising Muhammad Yunus for his work on microloans, while at the same time supporting efforts to deny Arizonans similar access to credit.
Indeed empowering poor Mexicans with microloans recognizes that they can make their own financial decisions, enter into contracts, decide how they want to spend their money and allow them the opportunities that the rest of us take for granted.
Too bad that when those same people move a couple hundred miles north, the Republic wants to deny them the same opportunities.
