You’d be surprised. They’ll send these out to anyone they think is desperate.

Banks and their predatory business practices are the reason for our economic problems.

It must be the “new” government credit card being issued by the White House.

Usury laws are, for the most part, non-existent. I think that usury limits are just non-existent in most states; and for the others there are adequate loopholes for credit cards, such that they need not comply. If they avoid threatening to break someones legs, I think the sky's the limit.

The govt forced banks to give a small number of home loans. They did not force the majority of home loans. Banks jumped in with both feet and took stated income (ie no proof) for mortgage applications. They encouraged buyers to borrow money and take loans the banks knew were bad for their customers.

The govt also didn’t force the $990 Billion in credit cards.

Large multi-national banks are in bed with Obama and the globalist movement.

You mean banks like Citi aren’t ethical?

Probably sent to Rent-to-own customer lists.
