Study Says National Debt Is Bigger Than You Think – $50,000,000,000,000
The national debt is much larger than most people think, $50 trillion instead of $15.7 trillion, a report by financial services firm Deloitte says. Besides the true debt, the report describes four additional risk factors that deserve attention when considering the extent of the U.S. debt crisis.
The federal government is currently adding about $4 billion per day to the national debt, which comes to about $750 per household per month.

According to Wikipedia James Lablache Stewart was born on 6 May 1913 in Old Brompton Road, west London and not in the United States.
James Lablache Stewart's name for movie purposes was changed to Stewart Granger because Hollywood already had a major movie star named James Stewart and movie moguls didn't want two men named James Stewart on the screen.
James Stewart, Stewart Granger, played Lot in the movie "Sodom and Gomorrah". I particularly liked James Stewart, Stewart Granger, in the movie "King Solomon's Mines":
The Proverbs of Solomon
Proverbs 5:21 KJV
For the ways of man [are] before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.
Proverbs 5:22 KJV
His own iniquities shall take the wicked himself, and he shall be holden with the cords of his sins.
Proverbs 5:23 KJV
He shall die without instruction; and in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

Democrats are the abortion party. Republicans are the abortifacient party. Both are in the hip pocket of Planned Parenthood.
Of the two, the Republicans likely murder a few more.

I liked James Stewart in those movies and, 'I enjoyed him very much in "King Solomon's Mines".'
Proverbs 1:20-30 KJV
Wisdom crieth without; she uttereth her voice in the streets: 21 She crieth in the chief place of concourse, in the openings of the gates: in the city she uttereth her words, [saying], 22 How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge? 23 Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. 24 25 26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh; 27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you. 28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me: 29 For... 30

I liked Stewart in "It's A Wonderful Life", "The Glenn Miller Story" and "Harvey". Most of the time when I reference individuals I only state their last name.

Quite right, that movie amounted to a puff piece for New Deal Populism, in addition to its usual childish Christmas romanticism. So such fictitious rights have deep roots by now.

Even though George Baily's B&L was private, it's easy to see where champions of GSEs like Fannie Mae could point to such a movie and say "See? See? That's what we're doing...getting more people into houses!". Never mind the hazards of eventual market distortion and disruption that so often result from excessive government involvement in private asset management.

Mike wrote: An example is the nonsensical "predatory lending"
Yes, if by this is meant “unfair & abusive loan terms.” Who's to say what “unfair” is? It is utterly subjective; you'd think modern minds accustomed to moral relativism might grasp this. Only if there is some sort of misrepresentation could one say there is fraud involved.
Notice this HUD website. It almost reads like campaign rhetoric. And why is it a matter for HUD, instead of local law courts? There is a pedagogical tone to the whole thing.
