Jesse notes, it's not surprising that people who take out payday loans end up doing it again and again. The business model of a predatory lender is much like a spider and its web, trapping their victims and then sucking out the lifeblood.

One can hope that some day we'll regulate these bloodsuckers at the federal level.
