How? No one has seen it except for the State official. BTW I know he was born in Hawaii but have a feeling there is something on there that may be misspeak?

He was very well-dressed for this one - thanks, Obama! First provisions of Obama's consumer credit card protection act passed in May go into effect:

- Starting this week, card issuers need to give you more time to pay your bills. Now, instead of mailing bills 14 days before the due date, issuers must send bills 21 days in advance of the payment date. That will mean fewer people will get hit with late fees because of postal delays.

- Another provision going into effect this week requires card issuers to give you 45 days' notice when they plan to raise your rate, instead of the current 15-day advance notice.

- Starting in February, if there's an interest rate hike, it cannot be applied to existing balances. And if you carry a balance that has a variety of interest rates, when you make a payment it must be credited to the portion of the balance with the highest annual percentage rate.

And there's much, much more that will make credit cards less usurious:

All of which are great except the number of people that can get credit cards and the amounts that those few that can are tiny. If you are responsible consumer these provisions do virtually nothing for you. Of course why help the people who are responsible...who have jobs, who make their mortgage payments, who already drive decent cars, who dont carry large balances on credit by spending beyond their means...

LOL, only you could try and turn consumer protection against usurious practices a bad thing This helps responsible consumers too. People that want to use a credit card to maybe buy a refrigerator and pay it off over three months, etc. It even helps those who pay off their balances monthly, as there are huge fees incurred for being a day late, etc. It will decrease the number of irresponsible people that are approved for cards, which makes our costs (responsible people) less.

Perhaps you didnt read the link that you posted. The CREDIT CARD COMPANIES ARE RAISING INTEREST RATES ON EVERYONE IN RESPONSE TO THIS !!!!! So the guy buying the fridge will now pay more for that item if he pays over three months. Sounds great....

from the article
According to Bill Hardekopf, CEO of LowCards.com, a free consumer resource Web site on credit cards, you can expect card issuers to charge even more fees to make up for those losses. He predicts more card issuers will charge annual fees, up from the current 20 percent that do so today.

And he forecasts that many card issuers will solve the problem of advance notice of rate changes by simply making their cards "variable rate" cards, subject to an index such as the prime rate, plus a few percentage points. Then when interest rates go up, your card's interest rate will rise automatically.
Card issuers are also cutting back on reward programs, or making it more difficult to earn or redeem points. And some have started charging a fee of as much as 5 percent for transferring a balance. It will hardly be worthwhile to search for a lower rate card if you have to pay this much to move your outstanding balance.


yeah this is TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!

Sigh ... Yes, I know what the credit card companies are doing right now.

I find it hilarious that you think this would be good reason to eliminate consumer protections for yourself in the future.

Please - go back into your bunker, and come out in eight years. Your blood pressure will be in much better shape.

Stay on the subject. I know you are clueless to what is happening and maybe we can help you understand what will happen. Here's one, go to the post office or DMV and pretend that it is now your healthcare provider. Makes you feel all warm and fuzzy doesnt it?

Actually, you're doing a very good job as poster child for clueless regarding healthcare reform.

I challenge you to turn off Fox News, and stop directly channeling O'Reilly and Hannity for a week. The world is a nicer, less scary place when it's reality-based.

I said nothing of the sort. Simply pointed out that Palin's talk of them caused scurrying among the healthcare pushers to amend their bills. I guess she isnt that dumb afterall considering the massive amount of backtracking your people made? You are a google intellectual. You really have no comprehension of the issues but if given the time will be able to google up something that proves your point or simply fall back to your Fox news or Bush rabble. Here is one of your fav sites..they dont much like this Obamacare crap either

LOL - You can't be serious. And you say I have no comprehension of the issues? <g>

First, there are no "death panels". There are provisions for people, families, to discuss with their doctors if they want living wills, if they want to be kept alive on machines, etc. This is a decision families and the patient makes. The government has nothing to do with it. However, it will be paid for.

This is the same thing the GOP put into Medicare two years ago. You know, the same GOP that are now screaming "Death Panels" !!!

Sarah Palin is a moronic idiot. The Senate took out that provision before they went on recess. That was the beginning of August. The Senate is still in recess. This happened before Caribou Barbie posted that Obamas Death Panel was going to determine if her Down Baby would live, depending upon his contribution to society.

Did I mention Sarah Palin is a moronic idiot?

Then, a couple days later, Sarah Palin - who must have discovered there was no "Death Panel" provision in the Senate bill - took credit for getting it taken out. Amazing feat, as the Senate isn't even in session, and the provision isn't in the Senate bill to start with.

Did I mention Sarah Palin is a moronic idiot?

Your focus on personal insults are nothing more than the foot-stomping temper tantrum of last resort by the person with no arguments.

BTW, you might "google" a little more, you may become better educated on healthcare reform. But I doubt it.

And it appears today that the government option isn't going to be dropped. Keep up.
