It was an unusually reasonable reform. But It will have unintended drawbacks.

It will hurt people that carry a balance (unlike me) that wouldnt have had their rates go up. Now the CC companies have to raise rates of more consumers to spread the new risk (they limited CC ability to raise rates on existing balances).

But the other side easy credit traps were a time bomb for them and the economy, and many freepers cursed the CC companies before Obama was elected.

Prior to Obama's inauguration and subsequent credit card reform, I carried single-digit rates across the board. Now, one card's rate tripled, and another jumped by several points. I'm just thankful that the remaining ones are still in very low single-digit rate territory, and I'm hoping they stay that way until this "reform" takes effect.

He woke up the Republican voters who were asleep during the last eight years.

That alone will make America stronger.

Reagan did.

But in the mean time, the middle still yawns, and would vote with the left to give Obama forty-something percent of the vote. The middle likes the idea of socialism neighbors-helping-neighbors. Until the MSM is destroyed, Obama and any other national socialist or communist (they are the same thing really: tyranny through seduction) will get about 50 percent of the national vote.

A good starting point is just to look at who helped pass the stimulus.

A good ending point, too. Subsequent votes are just trying to give the appearance of being conservative.

Let the stimulus be the litmus test.

Yeah. One of my card companies blandly announced that my new interest rate would be 29.99%
