There is a Senate bill called S-582 that needs our support and anyone who we can get to call our senators office's and demand that they support this bill..The just of the bill is that Visa/Mastercard/discover and any other credit shark company CANNOT CHARGE OVER 15% in INTEREST... Senator Bernie Sanders is co-sponsoring this bill with I have already forgot the other cat's name. But as Bernie said credit Union's can only charge a maximum of 15% interest and they make money usually charging far less.. Now Snortin Nortin says "so these damned credit card companies should be just fine & dandy with 15% as thier new maximum charge, and if they are not well to he!! with them!!"....

I've seen interest rates on credit cards as high as 27%. I said to hell with that and paid off my credit cards and I will not under any circumstance ever have another one.. At one time you could actually call a credit card company and actually get to talk to a real person and get your interest rates dropped. Now you get transferred to India or someplace else in the world.

Say Snortin Norton? That's a Bill we all should be supporting ! Even if you never had a credit card ! I've been a Visa gold card member since 1994 and I don't think I've had a rate like that in years ! I'm surprised i haven't heard anything about this Bill on the News ? Thanks for the info ! I'm gonna go to the Congressional web site and get all the information and contact my Senator ! Lou Dobbs would probably be interested in this Bill too ! Thanks again for the info !

I heard about it Friday on the Thom Hartmann show... That guy oughtta be Prezzzzz....

[chick500]

That's a good Bill ! I looked It up on the Congressional web site the first day you posted about It ? They didn't even have the text yet? It was only submitted on 3/13/09,I think? It's there now though if anybody wants to read It ? Thanks for the info and I'll pass It around !:flag

First, gasoline, then the smokes, now credit cards. Fleecing only happens to sheep. Americans are used to a lifestyle of buy now pay later. We bought alright, now we pay.
