"In 1978,
the United States Supreme Court
delivered a landmark decision
that freed banks
to charge the interest rates
allowed in their home states
to customers across the country.

unleashed a national credit storm:

in order to attract banks,
while banks rushed to establish affiliates
in states that weakened
or abolished such laws. ..."result 30 % interest rates
