• Is Trump's 10% Credit-Card Rate Cap GOOD or BAD ?

    From c186282@c186282@nnada.net to talk.politics.misc,alt.politics.usa,alt.fan.rush-limbaugh on Sat Jan 10 21:23:18 2026

    Admittedly it will be popular - at least up front.

    However, banks have to deal with a lot of CC fraud AND
    they want good returns for themselves/stockholders too.

    Keeping people in eternal high-interest debt DOES serve
    the banks (until that pyramid collapses anyhow).

    But - if that money fountain is turned off, getting
    a CC may suddenly become very difficult. CCs may
    largely go away entirely.

    Problem ... in the current inflationary and job-
    questionable environment, a LOT - like a WHOLE
    lot - of people pretty much LIVE day to day on
    their CCs. USED to be just vanity/stupidity to
    live beyond ones immediate means ... but now it
    seems to have become kinda life-and-death for
    vast numbers.

    Note also that if RATES are capped, "FEES" will
    greatly increase. Won't matter if you keep a
    zero balance. Banks are biz, not 'charity orgs'.
    1950s "wealth" was increasing fast, the sky
    was the limit, so cheap CCs worked. These days
    the sky is NOT unlimited ... the USA is not
    the sole center of the universe anymore.

    You make valid points.

    But the most important thing is the one that neither side is willing to
    talk about -- and sure as Hell the banks aren't going to talk about it.

    It's this: Bank credit, including "credit" extended on credit cards, is _fraudulent_. The banks create the money they "lend" out of thin air. It
    is money-creation via bookkeeping entry.

    It's called the fractional reserve banking system, It's the most
    massively profitable criminal enterprise on Earth. It needs to be stopped.

    No one owes the bankers a dime.

    It's called the fractional reserve banking system, It's the most

    We saw not ALL that long ago how 'credit' became
    a pyramid scheme. Only took a few percent who could
    not pay up and large portions of that construction
    crashed down.

    Often 'credit' IS 'speculative money'. The banks
    leverage existing reserves and extend their own
    and then move out onto naught but paper after
    that. It works, usually. It allows more people to
    do more things.

    But, as said, if something goes bad at the foundation
    level then there's just a pile of rubble remaining.
    Credit empowers - but also endangers.

    But that rule goes for a LOT of things ...

    No one owes the bankers a dime.

    Yea, they do. You pay for their services and
    then you can buy that new house or car or
    refurb your factory.
