The Democrats may be in power, but they're still following Republican logic, i.e. when poor people have bad things happen to them it's their fault for being lazy, and when rich people cause bad things it's not their fault at all. We're still following Rand, no matter how often she is proven to be a stupid bitch.

All credit card companies are jacking up their rates, because credit card defaults are skyrocketing. They're trying to squeeze more money out of those who are still paying. Just watch to see if they will decrease your credit limit below your outstanding balance in order to rack up even more fees. The idea is that they assume you are too poor to pay off the balance, so they want to suck as much money out of you as they can before forcing you to default on the rest. We really need to have usury laws again. We're pretty much the only country ever to exist that doesn't have usury laws.
