I'll look for it and purchase a few for friends, since I know it will be an interesting read just by the things you have chosen to write about. <br /><br />As far as the cc reforms, I got my AMEX bill today and everything is all spelled out nicely, as far as here is how long and this is how much you would pay. I pay the balance monthly, so I don't worry about the finance charges, but what about those people that can only pay minimum. It is basically legal loan sharking, the fees they are starting to charge. Even sadder is they are getting away with it. Currently there are 8 banking lobbyists for each member of congress. That needs to be done away with.Jessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4405102889755809982.post-48341075114466753972010-02-26T19:38:08.758-05:002010-02-26T19:38:08.758-05:00Shaw Kenawe...I Love It!

Whew!<br /><br />When you're dealing with the financial industry/Wall Street, you're aiming at a constantly moving target. Watching, regulating and zapping their worst outrages is like fighting crime: you can never stamp it out, so the next best thing is to clamp down hard enough to keep it at a reasonably low level.<br /><br />In recent years, especially thanks to George W. Bush and cronies, government switched to taking the clamps off and throwing them away, with predictable results.S.W.
