The easy liberal solution to a variety of corporatist problems: Sensible Caps

[andym]

As many of us expected, credit card companies are busy trying to subvert the new credit card reform act. http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/09_38/b4147026262530.htm?wtf

But there's one solution that they won't be able to completely weasel out of: interest rate and total penalty CAPS. They are needed, and I hope that Senator Dodd will revisit them.

Furthermore, caps on premiums and consumer total cost could essentially turn US healthcare into a European style healthcare on the backs of the insurers.

The key to the Cap and Trade bill? Caps...

1. Would love to see any solution to corporations ripping us off.

So far, effective legislative solutions are impossible dreams. Our only recourse is individual efforts like capping what we purchase. The benefit is that you'll actually live better.

2. It really doesn't take much to reign them in

It just requires the gumption to change the rules a bit-- like imposing caps to ensure "good behavior."
