43. Did anyone in the repuke congress say, "Hey let's help people out by
bringing back the consumer interest deduction on federal income tax?" Or how about, "Hey let's help people out buy forcing the credit card companies to lower their interest rates thus making the minimum payment go more toward principal rather than interest?"

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
They say, "Let's lie to the people and tell them that we are helping them out by making the credit card companies more money!"

Folks, this is not the way to help people who can't make ends meet now. Gas will be going higher, housing will go higher. Wages are going down. You can't keep squeezing people and them them it's good for them.
Anyone here who things this is a good idea doesn't live hand to mouth I think.

If the repukes really wanted to help people they would force interest rates on credit cards lower. You'll never see that.
