Happy New Year

A new year resolution: CUT UP YOUR CREDIT CARDS.

The only way to make a dent on the black heart that is the credit card industry is to stop using those cards! It's a shame but the bottom line is all that matters to them...caring? compassion? helping you? Forget it! You are a cash cow for them....

Have you received your new bills yet? The minimum due has risen.... also check the fine print for the new fees for lateness...

I understand that some card companies are delaying posting electronic payments and thus creating late fees!

Anytime legislation is written by the lobbyists - the public loses..and the "new" bankruptcy bill [aka the MBNA bill] is such legislation.

Ditto the Medicare part D [for dumb?] legislation. That was written by the insurance companies who now stand to rake in mega mega bucks. It's all part of the scare 'em and penalize 'em mentality that has been in place under King Shrub was annointed!
