Unfortunately, the smart people will just leave credit card companies altogether. Then the stupid people can all be merry together while getting raped by the credit card companies.

It's kind of like casinos that crack down on card counters. You are only allowed to play if you are stupid.

Looks like I'll be using my debit card now.

Put your head in the sand and inflate like crazy. Eventually everything will be okay!

Sounds like a really good reason to call somebody a douchebag!

Where are my fictitious offshore companies then? I need some quick cash.

Does this mean the Fed is the next Enron?
