Deuteronomy 15:1-2

“At the end of seven years you will make a release. And this is the manner of the release: to release the hand of every creditor from what he lent his friend; he shall not exact from his friend or his brother, because the time of the release for the Lord has arrived.”

Our modern economy has been financed by loans and there is nothing in the Bible forcing anyone to loan money. That's why interest is allowed.
I find it offensive to mix religion with politics.
