Credit card reform legislation nears passage
Call me crazy, but last time the government tried to "help" us with our credit cards, they passed a new restriction that raised all of our monthly payments hugely overnight. (This was done with the warm fuzzy message of, "Let's help Americans get out of debt!) My personal payments went from about $250 a month on a $50k debt, to about $1200 a month -- literally OVERNIGHT. Short term credit became instantly less affordable for my business, and thus -- the amount of business we did went down.
Why do I get the feeling that we're in for another royal screwing? But of course we'll all get the warm fuzzies first, because after all -- they are here to help! Stop those big bad credit card companies from taking advantage of us poor innocent folks. Even if the ultimate result is further tightening of the credit markets, and less credit extended from here on out! What other businesses is the government going to take over and dictate how to operate next?
Cheers,
