Lawmakers take aim at credit card industry

Quick! Grab your wallet, Congress is going to "reform" another industry.

Betcha that the cure will be far worse than the disease. It always is with government involved...

A pair of Democratic lawmakers today urged Congress to pass legislation aimed at remedying what they view as questionable practices of the credit card industry that keep consumers mired in debt. Sens. Carl Levin and Ron Wyden called for action as Americans face rising unemployment and a sluggish economy, CNNMoney.com reports.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
