Why are pigs being killed in Egypt? Only Christians raise pigs in Egypt. Another way for the Moslems to get at them.

You don't have to take people with horrible credit. You don't have to take anyone you don't want to. Why do you send credit cards to teenagers?

Besides, credit cards are not a small business.

I always pay my credit card completely each month. However, if your payment stays in their inbox past the due date, they will still charge interest.

The business model of the credit card companies is to entice you into enough debt so that they own you and can continue to charge ever higher interest rates and penalty fees. They deserve whatever the government does to them.

Credit card companies should not need to charge interest. They charge the stores at least 3% on every sale. That totals to a huge amount.

I seem to remember a time when states had usury laws that limited interest charges.

And he was trying to refer to the Bible when he said it. Typical political quote.

When he was referring to not going back to building on sand, he was referring to the free enterprise system. Scary!
