Back to the point made by someone earlier, blame your own party for that, since they had two years where they could have run roughshod.

Jesus christ Yoshi. Stop listening to the noise machine. Obama is center-right. There are very few actual leftists holding office in this country. Kucinich and Sanders maybe
I'm talking about the US spectrum. Putin has a place for you I am sure if that's too far right for you.
Wait really? It's hard to think of people more liberal than Obama? Seriously? Hell, Nixon was close to if not even further left then Obama.
This is why every thinks you're just an idiot whenever you post in this thread, you say things that are nothing but party rhetoric without actually using your brain to think about what you're saying.
You sir, are a hideous hermaphroditical character which has neither the force and firmness of a man, nor the gentleness and sensibility of a woman.
I am a very, very large Nixon fan and have read most of his books. He is most assuredly not left of Obama. Are you talking about what Obama has been able to get passed or what he would do if Congress didn't exist?
Nixon was an environmentalist and did make some mistakes with regard to price controls, so that is probably where your comment is coming from. JFK was probably right of Obama, and Nixon was clearly to the right of him.
The problem is that several of you guys actually think of yourselves as moderate when you really aren't, so it skews your view of everyone else.
Wild Arms Junky.
Wouldn't it just be their fault for having cards with annual fees? Or their fault for carrying a balance? Why so choosy with the personal responsibility blame? Why won't the free market provide them with credit card companies that will resist raising fees that they can responsibly go to?
He wouldn't have signed Gramm Leach if Republicans hadn't written them in the first place. Just because Clinton did something that Congress or Senate wanted him to do doesn't matter here. You're red herring things here. Especially since they passed House and Senate so strongly Clinton's veto would have been a waste of his time and only been for grandstanding in purpose.
Glass Steagall was written up Damn Dirty Dems tho.

It is their fault for carrying a balance. Those who do the right thing, e.g. don't carry a balance or pay late, are the ones that get screwed, since the feds made it harder for the credit card companies to make money in order to protect the deadbeats. And what the fuck free market are you talking about? We don't have one.

The things banks and credit card companies did/do to get more fees is soooooooo underhanded I don't know how you can defend it. Period. If it was the Fed saying they're not allowed to charge late fees or other reasonable things then I'd prolly be in your boat too. I'm pro business too, just pro "honest" business.
My point about free market competition still applies though. Credit card companies just don't want to give up the easy money they've been making.

That's true, but in some ways the lack of a true free market lets them get away with that. Some of them may have gotten what they deserved in the crash if it were a true free market.
