What You Need To Know About Credit Cards
As of right now the economy continues to surpass the recession, unemployment is rising, and consumers are having trouble paying their bills. The amounts of credit card apps are going up and so are interest rates. This is starting to become a problem with the economy, because many people don’t have jobs to pay their bills. Many who had good credit are now starting to dissolve.
Currently, banks are raising the rates and the minimum payments for card holders. Some are raising them so high that card holders can’t even pay. Now you have banks complaining that they have to raise rates, because no one is making payments. How can someone make a payment if it’s already hard enough to pay it?
Lawmakers are trying their best to create bills that will stop them from increasing interest rates and fees on credit cards. The White House has started making changes to the way Credit Card Companies are dealing with their new effects. The House, a committee passed a bill to move up nearly three months the start date of new laws aimed at targeting how issuers raise fees and asses credit risk.
Credit card Companies are having a hard time adapting to the new change, arguing that they need more time. The problem is, the more time we wait the higher the amount of money customers are going to be paying. There are new bills emerging from the Senate that include freezing credit card interest rates until the new legislation takes effect February 22nd.
As of right now, public outrage continues to boil over on the topic, especially as card issuers continue to hike rates. The Pew Charitable Trusts released a study showing that interest rates increased by an average of 23% from December 2008 to July 2009. Credit Card holders are also becoming furious with the increased penalty fee for a delayed payment. They found that all large banks and card issuers were engaged in practices that would be prohibited under the new credit card laws. The new law would only allow an increase in the fee if the cardholder is two months late.
"The unfair and deceptive practices that the credit card act targets remain widespread, and in some cases we've seen it getting worse," said Nick Bourke, manager of the Pew Safe Credit Cards Project.
Among other things, the new law bans rate hikes unless a consumer is more than 60 days late and then restores the previous rate after six months if minimum payments are made. It also makes it harder for people under age 21 to get credit cards.
Some companies sent out notices about increases in rates and increases in the minimum payment. One company even posted in their letter that the rate and minimum payment increases were to make the account more profitable. That company posted a huge increase in profit this last quarter.
The rate increase change was from 6% to 19% - 30% depending upon type of credit and if "abuse" has occurred.
Companies are also affecting card holder’s limits, sending them short notices. One definition is going over your limit, but the bank can unilaterally reduce your limit and mail you notice and you could risk the 30% rate imposed unless you check your account by phone or online a daily basis and watch your approved credit limit. The notice can be as short as 10 days.
The bank says the new law start date is uncalled for. They say rates are intensifying because customers and economic times are riskier. According to Federal Reserve data, an evident number of cardholders have been walking away from card debt, because they are unable to pay for it. "We oppose it, because the two main factors driving the changes are the increased risk of nonpayment from the borrower and the riskiness of the economy," said Scott Talbott of the Financial Services Roundtable, a business lobbying group.
Republicans on the House panel pointed to a letter from Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke about the consequences of moving up the effective date. Bernanke said advancing the date could be rough on companies and would prevent the Fed from getting feedback on its proposed new rules cracking down on fees.
The Credit Card Act was signed into law by President Obama on May 22, with a first round of changes -- including giving cardholders 45 days notice before a hike takes effect. The more considerable changes were slated to take effect about six months later. We will soon find out if it was a good idea.

The Arab Lobby $9.99 In this authoritative history—the first in over twenty-five years to investigate the scope and activities of the Arab Lobby—Mitchell Bard provides a timely and valuable corrective to the unbalanced view of Middle East affairs that is so widely promoted today. The so-called Israel lobby has been widely denounced and demonized in the media, but its power pales in comparison to the decades-long corruption of American interests by Arab governments. Indeed, for more than seventy years, U.S. policy in the Middle East has been shaped not by the power of a nefarious "Israel lobby" but by a misguided emphasis on pleasing and placating the Arab states. This outlook has ensured that the United States pays disproportionate attention to their demands, assisting Arab countries—all of them dictatorial regimes with abysmal human rights records—that do not share our values, and often work to subvert our interests. Historically, the Arab lobby consisted of the oil industry, Christian missionaries, and current or former U.S. diplomats. Arabists in the State Department, many of them openly anti-Semitic, tried to prevent America from recognizing Israel in 1948, and have since waged a long bureaucratic war to undermine the alliance between America and the only true democracy in the Middle East, blocking arms and aid to Israel, while seeking larger weapons sales for their Arab friends. Many of these Arabists subsequently found lucrative jobs promoting business with Arab countries, speaking on their behalf and criticizing U.S.-Israel policy. Today the Arab states influence American policy through numerous hidden and informal channels, including former members of Congress, subsidized think tanks, paid media spokesmen, academics who hold chairs endowed by Arab money, human rights organizations, assorted UN agencies, European diplomats, and Christian groups hostile to Israel. A number of former ambassadors, university professors, and think tank experts routinely opine on Middle Eastern affairs, but never reveal these conflicts of interest. The most powerful member of the Arab lobby is Saudi Arabia, which has a nearly eighty-year relationship with the United States. From the earliest days, when American companies first discovered oil in the Arabian Peninsula, the Saudis have used a variety of tactics, including threats and bribes, to coerce U.S. policy makers to ignore their human rights abuses, support of terrorism, and opposition to American interests. Today, Bard shows, the Arab lobby's goals include feeding America's oil addiction, obtaining more sophisticated weaponry, and weakening our alliance with a democratic Israel. It also seeks to influence public opinion through a well-funded publicity campaign, and by injecting distorted views of the Middle East into high school and college textbooks. Bard's detailed political history brings much-needed balance to a debate fraught with ignorance and propaganda. |

The Doomsday Lobby $24.95 Federal patronage of science was never contemplated by the framers of the Constitution, but they did seek to "promote the Progress of Science and useful Art" by granting inventors patent rights. However, direct subvention to scientists and scientific organizations was not considered appropriate activity of the central government. In the 19th Century, American science was funded almost entirely through private investors. Since WWII, however, the federal government has become the primary patron of American science. From the race-to-space in the 1950s to current furor over global warming, Bennett traces the subtle and not-so-subtle ways in which government has co-opted scientific research and reinforced a culture in which challengers to proscribed wisdom are frozen out. Citing original documents and media reports, Bennett offers a compelling, entertaining, and thought-provoking perspective on political influence on scientific research and its implications for a democratic society. "During the Nineteenth Century, almost entirely on private funding, American science grew from practically nothing to world class. Now, however, over fifty percent of American science is funded by the federal government. Dr. Bennett traces the path, "crisis" after "crisis," by which American science became practically an arm of the federal government. His tale is a cautionary one, warning against future "crisis mongers" who would extend the government's already majority control of American science even further. His warning is a timely one, and it should be heeded." Joseph P. Martino, author of Science Funding: Politics and Porkbarrel "Bennett's latest book offers a challenging interpretation of the rise of the American federal science establishment since World War II. Focusing primarily on the growth of the space program, Bennett argues that crisis, real or imagined, is the source of state power and state funding for science. The Doomsday Lobby offers what no doubt will be viewed as a controversial contribution to the history of American science policy, and more broadly to an understanding of the role of the state in society." James D. Savage, Professor of Politics, University of Virginia, and author of Funding Science in America |
