Anybody See The Dateline Special On Credit Cards Last Night?

Pretty frigging disgusting...

It'll probably be on again on CNBC for those of you who have cable - you have to watch it.

We just paid off the last of our credit cards - closed the accounts and destroyed them.

The part that angers me the most - like everything else with the economy right now - is the fact that Congress was the enabler throughout this whole process when they deregulated (there's that word again) the credit industry.

You know, until lobbying and PAC's are outlawed, nothing is going to significantly improve in the long term for the people who actually work for a living......and still have difficulty making ends meet.

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
