Has Chris Dodd Done American Consumers A Favor By Co-authoring And Helping Pass The Card Act?



Earlier this week the Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs committee passed the Dodd-Levin Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure Act of 2009 (CARD Act, S.414). This requires credit card companies to apply payments to the balance with the highest interest rate first, and it also prohibits interest rate hikes on a credit card based on information unrelated to that card. It takes effect in 2010. Has Chris Dodd done something good for the American consumer? http://www.levin.senate.gov/newsroom/rel…

    After the way Dodd changed the wording in the 787 Billion dollar bail-out and allowed the AGI to pay out millions in bonus to the top brass and then we learn he also got a slice of the bail-out cash how can we trust his to not reword this amendment to screw us even more with this bill.
    Sorry to say this but I personal don’t trust any of the Washington crowd to do anything for the middle class voters.
    We are at their mercy till at least 2012 when we get another chance to get it right.
    13 million + are jobless and who do we blame for this mess .
    G. Bush had a lot to do with it but so did all the Democrats who controlled the Congress during the Bush Presidency.
    The truth hurts I know .
    But this is the way it is.

    I suppose even Chris Dodd can so something to help the voters. In perspective though, his main objective in congress seems to have been self serving and has padded his own finances.
