So people who previously would have gotten a credit card with 22% interest will now get no credit card at all.

Bad credit = No card

This AO-C gal couldn't have gone to college and obtained an economics degree.

Because that means she would have taken lots of economics classes to graduate with such a degree.

Any economist but a Karl Marx type would teach that capping prices artificially by the government on any product or commodity, will lead to a shortage or an elimination of that product or service from the market.

If the price is held down, the supply will dry up.

Capping interest rates on all loans at 15% means that many loans that are available now, will not be available under the interest cap mandate.

democRATic Socialists: We'll cap interest rates so people don't have to pay so much to the bad banks.

Banks and other lenders: We have money to lend but not at a maximum rate of 15%.

Consumers: Sorry. Out of luck suckers.

To: Kaslin; All

Cap @ 15%??

How does that NOT conflict w/ the Contracts Clause (along w/ every OTHER non-A1S8, anti-Constitutional edict, rule, reg, ‘law’+ in the same arena)??

Whom am I kidding, not even the (R)N(C) would dare to suggest it’s not a place for Fedzilla to tread...

How a Supreme Court ruling killed off usury laws for credit card rates

Summary:

How a 1978 court case changed the credit card industry and put cards in everyone’s pockets, but erased state laws that limit interest rates.

"....For consumers across the country, the impact was a dramatic increase in the availability of credit cards. According to the American Bankers Association, 38 percent of American households had at least one credit card in 1977, the year before the Marquette ruling. By 1989, the percentage of families with at least one credit card was 56 percent. Today, it’s about 75 percent.

“Back in the day, it was traveling businessmen and wealthy folks who got credit,” says Peter Garuccio, spokesman for the ABA.

The increased availability came at a price. It’s no coincidence that South Dakota is the home state for subprime card issuer First Premier Bank, which gained notoriety for offering a card with an interest rate of 79.9 percent...

"..The Marquette ruling also set the stage for another landmark Supreme Court decision regarding the credit card industry, Smiley vs. Citibank. In that case, a California woman, Barbara Smiley, had filed a class action lawsuit against Citibank’s South Dakota-based credit card division, claiming that the $15 late fee she was charged on her credit card bill violated California state law. Citibank responded that the late fee was, in effect, interest and was covered under the National Bank Act. The Supreme Court agreed; the result was an increase of late fees and other fees from $10 or $15 to the $39 fee that credit card customers may see today...."
