That is one way to look at it. The side effect is that it makes things much more difficult to work with so it isn't all good. Maybe a smarter consumer is a better way.

Actually I started my comment with money has no morals.
If you want to be run over and left flat broke then just remove all the banking regulations from the books. If you like the 1890's you will love the era of no regulation. Or if you liked the mid 80's, when all the regulations were removed from the Savings and Loans and the US Government was left with almost a Trillion dollars in failed banks and S&L's..... One of Reagan's lesser economic accomplishments that Conservatives wish everyone would forget.
The good old days.
