Credit Card Protection Bill

Congress is now considering a disclosure and protection bill for credit card holders/users, aimed at consumers. As the prior blog post noted, the bill is a waste of legislative time, if the same goal can be reached by newer regulations empowered by the 1968 Truth in Lending Act.

FWD: "We Shall Remain" on American Experience on PBS is commended and on now. A five part series.

Truth in Lending Act

The Truth In Lending Act with its Regulation Z should provide adequate power for the Obama Administration to issue warnings and disclosure for all consumers. In place since 1968, 41 years ago, this is one of the leading laws in the world on the subject matter and was ahead of its time in 1968. It contains more than enough delegatory regulatory authority to issue new regulations for sharper (clearer) credit card disclosures; and to ban certain ambigous obfuscated lendcing language.

Lets go Obama Administration ... and if you bozos on staff did this to him, then resign!
