The high cost of interest, which directly increases the cost of everything consumers buy, especially for a home which is paid for over many years, will inflate prices while constricting demand for goods and labor.

At the point in the play where she reaches out to take Merrick's hideously gnarled right hand in hers, the emotionally charged impact equals the scene in The Miracle Worker where Helen Keller first comprehends the sign for water. Longing to sleep "like other people," Merrick, who could only achieve rest by lowering his huge head on his knees, lay down one night in 1890, broke his neck and died...
