Man will it be rich watching all the banks pull the credit-cards from the people on the lower rung of the economic ladder.

All because some moron in D.C. had to launch class-warfare on the nation.

Well, they voted for the "Community Organizer", what ever the hell that is, so they can do without their little credit-card for all I care.

If you are having trouble understanding the previous two comments, Tracy, please allow me to help.
For Little Red Riding Hood to walk, alone, through the woods to Grandma's house was, well, irresponsible. She should have known it wasn't safe there.
The wolf, on the other hand, was just being himself. Eating Grandma, then dressing like her so he could gobble up Red, too, that's what wolves do.
And nobody should get between a wolf and his next meal. I mean, that's in the Bible, isn't it?
I hope it's all crystal-clear now.

Where does this all stop?

Will the government mandate that the fast food industry should be regulated as well? Will they limit the number of fries I get in my Happy Meal? Will they eliminate french fries all together? I eat healthy and exercise on a regular basis. I eat McDonald's once every 2 weeks... And I love it!!

On that note, will the government eliminate whole fat milk? I drink skim milk, but individuals should be allowed to make a choice.

We know what happens when the government starts to decide everything for individuals. 20 years ago, it was called communism. Imagine living in North Korea or the former USSR.

This government is allowing people to shift the blame from themselves to the "evil" credit card industry. People love it cos it allows them to avoid taking responsibility for their own actions. I have 7 credit card with $20K limits on each one of them. I use different ones for different points rewards. My bills are super modest and FULLY PAID each month.

This Obama administration, although with the best of intentions, is "Dr Phil-ing" the nation. The President needs to force the individuals to take blame for their actions. We as individuals have to stop blaming so called evil and corrupt companies.

After all, admission is the first step to recovery...
