McCarthyism Reborn?

Now there are certain things I could do without in life, but Fox News is definitely not one of them. On my way to the grocery store this morning I heard a report that credit card companies are monitoring their customers very carefully during this economic crunch. They are also guilty of raising interest rates to those who's credit rating is not so good. Anyone shopping at discount or bargain type stores are an example of people who's rates tend to be higher, as opposed to those frequenting stores like Neiman Marcus.

Now I'm no financial genius but it seems to me that raising someones interest rates when they are having trouble keeping up with the payments is pretty damn stupid! Meanwhile, the rich keep getting richer by receiving the favorable treatment.

Today, I am establishing the 'Reservation In Hell Award' for people like these credit card companies. May they enjoy their accommodations!
