• On May 01, 2009, by TLee1 - Regarding the interest rates charged by credit card companie: they should be rolled back to comply with states' usury laws. If that can'r be done, the federal government should set a ceiling on all interest rates, never to exceed "x %." Anything above 15% is usurious.

• On April 28, 2009, by charlesgliva - I supposed it would be a good thing to limit credit those with poor to average credit scores. For one, there is a reason their scores are poor to average.

• On April 30, 2009, by GROM - If there is a limit to those with poor and average credit scores, it's for their own safety. They got themselves in that place by spending more than they have, not making payments, and opening 5 credit lines just to get a discount from a store. Those people are just one of the causes of bad economy. If they haven't grown up to manage their own money, they should have a limited access to credit cards. Credit card companies also should be controlled on how they conduct business. Off to reading the bill :)
