Despite the billions in taxpayer bailout money that many banks and credit card companies have received, they still continue their abusive practices, hitting customers who make their payments on time with sudden interest hikes and new fees.
In fact, CHASE,CITIBANK,HSBC,CAPITOL ONE and others have recently hiked interest rates, with the average card rate at about 14% at present. Meanwhile, the banks are paying as little as 0% for overnight loans.
It's ridiculous that Americans who are struggling with the collapsing economy have to foot the bailout and pay for these arbitrary hikes in interest rates and fees.
The Fed passed a rule cracking down on abusive credit card rate hikes,but it won't go into effect until mid 2010.That means that the banks who got billions in taxpayer bailouts have more than a year to hit you with higher rates and fees just so they can increase their profits and make up for their bad gambles.
We can't wait another year while the only ones enjoying the big breaks are the big money banks.We need credit card reform this year.Give us a break.
What can you do?Tell your lawmakers in Congress to push the credit card reform forward. Pass it now.

ReplyDeleteI'm doing a post on Alzheimer's.There's hope at last.
ReplyDeleteAnd we heard today there might be hope for Jakey.WE're so excited.They told us not to get too worked up about it but I can't help it.
I laugh so hard at Keyser I almost fell out my chair...
ReplyDeleteThat's so great ..get your hopes up sweetie..Jakey is meant to do great things...
ReplyDeletealzhemimer will make a great post,I was going to post my continuing saga of octomom,haha one of the babies is not well,you know the reason why I didn't I want the laughs romorrow.
ReplyDeleteIt's a tratment that is still being researched,but it has been used successfully in other countries.It cured the children who were treated.It's so exciting because there was no cure,no treatment and not even any research into the disease.Like most great things it was an accidental discovery,I think by a desperate parent.
ReplyDeleteYou know in a strange way Nana did the right thing..she knew Brian would always take care of you,Nana loves those twins also...Nana know what a crappy dad they have..Peter will always be there for Jaye/twins.
ReplyDeleteAS for the Alzheimer's advance.It's the plague of the new millenium.What great news if it proves to be effective.
ReplyDeleteNana loves the twins.More than she loves anyone else.She's mean but she has a real soft spot for them.
ReplyDeleteIs there anyway for you to contact the parent,I bet there is a support group...Jeannie good things happen to good people,you never gave up hope for Jakey,I think your painting and this blog is good for you,it takes your mind of your problems for a while and you can go to your secret place.
ReplyDeleteNana loves you to,look what a tough little kid you were.not afraid of anything...
ReplyDeleteThis blog and meeting you have been a wonderful experience.It has helped to remind me that laughs and good conversation with people you like can keep you centred and in love with life.Thankyou.
ReplyDeleteIt's a blessing just to know there is help...so get excited ,because it is going to happen...strange how all these things is coming to light after Bush left office.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of tough little kids.You were a good example.Look how you handled your grief at eight years old.Your dad and Sis were drowning in their own sorrow.They didn't have a lot of comfort to give you.You dealt.
ReplyDeleteIt has been wonderful for me also,I just had sis to guide me on my journey..now I have you..both of you just tell me the truth and pull no punches,I like that..
ReplyDeleteJeannie,I have come a long way since meeting you..
The entire world changed when Bush left office,history changed,like coming out of the darkness,into the sunlight.
ReplyDeleteI think my mama tried to perpare me for her leaving,I know I still miss her,but I am at peace,foolish as it may sound,I think I feel her guiding me along this path.
ReplyDeleteMr Obama may not be the Messiaah people hoped he'd be,but he is a vast improvement and he is an energetic,committed,optimistic man who gives people hope.We love him up here.
ReplyDeleteBush was a drunk..he didn't know his ass from a hole in the ground,I always said we need some your blood running the country,with new ideas,like dad says older people is set in their ways and you can't change them.
ReplyDeleteYour mama is guiding you in a way.You want to live up to her memory,and I think you are.You may not have as many children but I think she'd be proud.
ReplyDeleteSome don't care for him here,I think he has great ideas..we was in a mess and broke .Obama said it was not going to be easy,we had a long row to hoe...hell he can't be no badder than Bush.
ReplyDeleteOh shit,I didn't think I would have babies,I only see my visitor about 3/4 times a year,along came Gil ,digging and planted his seeds.
ReplyDeleteI think you are touching a lot of people with the medical posts,I know I am learning a lot.
ReplyDeleteYou needed that strong Italian gene pool.And,a guy who could shoot far and high.
ReplyDeleteI guess you are right...I aked him did he have children when we first met,he said no,he was never caught in the rain without his slicker.
ReplyDeleteyes Gil has poem you wrote ...A Plea to Gil...the mountain dangle,unknown lawyer's tomb...all of them is in his office .hahaha
ReplyDeleteYour life is so much less complicated because he had no ex's and no kids.Also no emotional baggage.
ReplyDeleteHe has them all..I really think that's when he got interested looking for stuff ,he says it is just for him,te ones that looks like a choochie ,it's frame and hanging in the lobby,the size is 20/20
ReplyDeleteWhen someone ask him about it,he says one of my Canadian family members,he says i have so many he don't try to keep up with them.
ReplyDeleteI think Keyser had a ball,he know all we want is to have fun...He was surprise to see it .
ReplyDeleteI can't believe he blew up that choochie.What a funny guy.I think I'd like hm.
ReplyDeleteHe has a great sense of humor..I know when I decided to let him catch,I invited him to a party at Emily's the preacher wife..I told him to meet me there ,he was there ..I walk up to him and asked him if he wanted to poke the choochie...he started laughing and said hell yes...we were out of there.I got my first letter the next day.
ReplyDeleteGo to bed You will be a wreck to morrow.
ReplyDeleteDo it ,you know they will be reading,and reporting back to the head loon...
ReplyDeleteJeannie it had Keyser stumped until I told him,he loved it..you was only looking for Mr.big.
