For over 20 years, Americans have been questioned by a credit card catchphrase asking, “What’s in your wallet?” The more relevant question today is who is in your wallet, given the activist lawmakers in Washington eager to regulate nearly every aspect of our financial lives. And once again, we open our wallets to find Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) settling in and making himself comfortable.

Dick Turbin.
But you can be sure that there will be a lot more in HIS wallet. The political elites never feel the burden or pain of their own actions.
Little Dick is coming for our money now?
Kansas here.
Letter to Marshall to stay out of it.
Owning nothing.
And loving it!!!
What an amazingly bad article. It talks a lot about the potential bank responses and side effects of Durbin’s proposed legislation, but it never says what it actually does.
Oddly enough Joe Biden’s Senate career started when he was installed by the Bank of Delaware to promote legislation favorable to them when they dominated the credit card market back in the BankAmericard days long before Visa, Mastercard, and Discover. A deep dive into Joe’s Senate records if they weren’t hidden away under sealed orders would show the damage he has done to American consumers his whole political life. Democrats run for office only to enrich themselves. PROVE ME WRONG !
Never has there been a more aptly named Dick.
