Once again, consumers cannot catch a break vs. credit card/payday lenders sky high rates...
Just proves that the majority of 'elected representatives' to Capitol Hill have no concern for the constituents that voted them in when it comes to preserving the massive profits of the bankers, credit card companies and payday lenders.

Not particularly surprising... but it would be nice to win one of these.

3. We may pay their salary but that's nothing compared to the checks the
corporations give them as bribes....er campaign donations.

4. I guess elections
don't even convince them that people are getting pretty fed up.
I am beginning to think that government is a charade and the corporations, esp. Wall Street are truly holding us all hostage.
How worried is the CEO of BP - not too much.

8. Someone said, "Elections have consequences"
But, really, they don't seem to.

Yes, it would be nice if they voted to help the People for change. Many democrats voted against us. Even Kerry!
