re: #21 Rocky-in-Connecticut

just wait till Debtors Prisons make their official comeback. I feel its coming no matter who is elected President as the country continues its locally rightward lurch.

The for-profit private prison system means there has to be a constant inflow of prisoners to make a $$$ profit. With the legalization of pot and possibly other drugs, prison corporations will need to fill the hole. People in debt will do nicely.

With this in mind, I think those lower income whites who currently vote Republican/Tea Party reflexsively will wonder what happened as their late credit cards and mortgages turn into months or years in jail. And the possible rape and other assorted violence that follows in prison amy make them rethink their previous positions.

A good friend and I had a theory many years ago when the huge growth of ‘big box’ stores started to be built and change the retail landscape. We figured after the big stores got everyone’s money and everyone was tapped out, they could convert the stores into debtors prisons.

Yes, your new debtors Home is Home Depot.
