That's fair. It is also a slope down which those more naive than you and I will fall. Speaking from personal experience I can tell you that there is an appalling number of people, not just the young, who are very limited in their decision making ability. I do not like it as an argument for regulation but, truth be told, the shysters of the world would have a heyday if given free rein. The poor, who are often in that state because of limited intelligence and lack of real world conditioning, would become even poorer. Comes to mind the payday lenders who charge outrageous interest on very short-term loans. Free and unfettered capitalism. But those who fall prey are lost, even faster lost than those who mire themselves in credit card debt. Somehow we must do better.
