   see c-span everyday 3:00pm these congressmen firebomb these governmental criminals who are running america. I’d seen some senators talk so much of bad experiences with obama. If only the commonpeople had watched important channels like these instead of garbage ESPN.

   I have always thought of credit card companies as legal loan sharks. It’s a wonder why they didn’t do something sooner but they better do it now. Great video like to see what happens.

   we don’t need the government to do this, we need to all stop paying & boycott use of credit cards. This guy works for the gov who maintains an agency called the IRS & still allows the federal reserve to charge us interest on our own $.

    Capping credit card interest rates would completely shut down the credit markets.

    If you sold hamburgers for $10 for a $3 profit, and the government told you that you had to cap the price at $7, you’d stop selling hamburgers. Screwing with the free market is a bad idea.

    Banks charge interest rates based on default risk. Whether or not its right or wrong is irrelevant. It’s the market price of borrowing money.

    A better idea would be to not use credit cards, and live within your means.

    Credit Card Interest Rates have nothing to do with default risk. Its that free market your talking about people are willing to pay it, so they charge it credit card company’s rarely lose money to bankruptcy they simply apply the interest and penalty’s to there losses. while the original capital has long since been recovered. The high interest rate is meant to put u in a perpetual form of debt repayment and there for continued revenue for credit card company. People still continue to use them.

    I have a very good credit rating YET I am paying 26% interest. My original debt has been paid 5x over BUT I am not any closer to paying off the entire balance.

    This is pure usery.

    If we actually had a “free market” the Fed would not be the one issuing our money supply. Money need not ever be issued at an interest cost, unless the issuer is for whatever greedy reason pretending they have SOLD you your own money.

    I think every person should be born with 1Million $ in their new account.

    The high interest rate is because it is NOT meant to be used. Credit is to make your life more flexible and payed back in the shortest time possible. It’s not the idea for people to buy things that they can’t really affoard on credit. Or who had the idea that the credit card companies should just pour out money and get nothing in return.

    But more then 10% still sounds too much.

    Why not just be accountable with your finances and not use credit cards. Fucking idiots.
