Bush loves your money too

Here we go! The Bushies want CC companies to force YOU to pay 4% instead of 2% minimum! Hooray! The logic? You'll get out of debt sooner! Um. Of course, if you can't AFFORD to make minimum payments, because, I dunno, you entered into a fucking agreement with certain terms, then tough shit for you I guess. The fucking guy they quote in the article linked says you should...get this...contact your fucking credit card company and "negotiate" a lower interest rate. Yeah, that'll happen. "Why, you want to wiggle out of our main profit center? Sure, here you go!" Riiiiight.

This is Whammy #2, after the bankruptcy bill. You can see the shape of the GOP's servitude to big business. What's better than destroying Labor from the top down? Enslaving it to debt from the bottom up! As Digby put it: "Seriously, I can understand why the credit card companies want to do this now that they are protected from people having their debts discharged when they suddenly can't make their monthly payments. But on what basis does a Republican government excuse its meddling into the private financial affairs of American citizens?
