And some have started charging a fee of as much as 5 percent for transferring a balance, how does that lead to responsible people paying less? Same logic of spending your way out of bankruptcy IMO.

How about all the good things the bill is doing? Just ignore that?

You should attack the credit card companies for getting in one final effort to screw you, their customer, before they no longer can.

Attacking the people that put the locks on the credit card companies is ridiculous.

But you guys go right ahead, it's all you've got

The new bill does nothing for the 'responsible people' it's for the 'irresponsible people' who are willing to sign anything regardless of interest rate or terms for more credit and the simpletons who need a week in order to fill out a check. The only responsible people who are going to benefit from this are the ones that get screwed with by the Post Office. Yet another reason why 'responsible people' want the Government nowhere near their health care.

DETROIT (AP) today -- Higher sales, in part from the government's Cash for Clunkers program, are spurring General Motors Co. to boost production at several of its factories.

The automaker said Tuesday it will add 60,000 vehicles to its production in the third and mainly the fourth quarter. It will also bring back about 1,350 laid-off workers in the U.S. and Canada.
GM will add a shift to its CAMI factory in Ingersoll, Ontario, where the new Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain midsize crossover vehicles are made. The company's Lordstown, Ohio, assembly plant, where the Chevrolet Cobalt and Pontiac G5 are made, also will see additional shifts.

Good news those folks are going back to work.

Your kidding right? Despite your swooning over it, the bill doesnt do much for responsible consumers. You posted a link that spelled out why. Didn't you read it? No one attacked anyone but you. We simply pointed out the flaws in thinking that the responsibile consumer is somehow helped out. They arent. We all know the creditcard companies are dirtbags.
