Just had an interesting encounter at my workplace.

My employer, who voted for Obama, was just complaining because the credit card company he has used for his business will no longer be offering any type of reward points. He normally gets about 8 roundtrip airline tickets per year due to the volume of business he does with that card.

I asked him if he was aware that this was a result of legislation that Obama wanted passed in order to "crack down" on credit card companies. He said he thought the credit card companies needed to be reformed, but he wasn't expecting it to actually affect HIM.

I spent up all my airline miles last year. They are not promised to be honored in perpetuity, and I figured I’d better get rid of them. This was before all this happened. I also took some w/ds from my 401Ks to try to pay down debt. Didn’t really work, but I did it at about 13000, so at least I made enough money to overcome the penalty as opposed to just loosign it.

Well, I suppose he's at least getting "change", which he believed in.
