This type of misconduct should be dealt with as fraud or theft crimes, which is essentially what the dissent's position seems to be.

In order to make this work, the US Gov't encourages (whoops--orders) everyone, down to the lowliest soldier, sailor, airman, and marine, to get a credit card, then throws these suckers in jail when they get in trouble with the card. Unbelievable.
