This is why credit cards have the new disclosure requirements.

Thankfully, the requirements legislation passed. Handy information.

And information that should be obvious to anyone with a high school education.

I suppose, it is a bit like the health warnings on cigarette packets. Many will choose to ignore the risks, unless they arent bluntly stated.

And sometimes, I look at the warnings and think, "Hmm, Let me have two of those.." lol.

Oddly, republicans fought to hide this most basic of information..

But look at it this way.. It is obvious that you shouldn't use a hair dryer in the bath tub.. Yet we have a tag that says you shouldn't.. StarBucks had to put 'The beverage you are about to enjoy may be hot.' People are stupid.. Someone like you should know this most basic of information about your fellow man..

One caveat. The people who pay and own the Republicans (financial corporations) fought to hide this most basic of information.

Clearly, it's not, since credit cards used to market specifically to people who were already in so much debt they'd never get out. That was the whole point--market more debt to people who clearly have a taste for it, not people who would pay off their balances. Where's the fun in that?

Say, Grump, do you have a bumper sticker on your car that says "Stupid should hurt?" You seem like that kind of guy.
