I didn't agree with everything Charlie Kirk said and did, but a least he had a set of core values defined in his mental model of the world, which make sense to me, which can be defended and articulated to younger people and others.
Trump man, it's just wherever the wind blows.

He's "calling for" it. He doesn't have the authority to do it on his own.

Economists and financial professionals should all be rich if they REALLY understood the economy. They aren't and they don't.

And Kirk was an adamant supporter of Trump and one of the reasons why Trump is in power. You’re a mental midget with tds.

I agree with you for once, no one has to get a credit card. Caping the interest rate is going to make it harder for people to get them.

I know the response on here will be along the lines of "if they cant get approved, they shouldn't get it" and that is correct some of the time. However, limiting credit is an overall negative to the poor. Its going to remove opportunity for those responsible enough to manage their credit cards and leverage.

Lmao at the TDS idiots down voting lower credit card interest.
Yeah. Opposing price controls is "TDS". You think interest rates are pulled out of their arse? It's pricing the risk of lending to risky borrowers, you dolt.

You betcha. Maybe, in the very least, it will shed some light on predatory lending. I am of the class that says if you have to pay double digit interest, then pay cash or go without.

They penalize deadbeats(this is a financial term used by credit companies to describe someone that’s fiscally responsible)all of the time.

So yes, they often are.

You’re also going to see lower credit limits and approvals.

To a degree they are. They used to be lower. Biden helped banks move their credit card operations to Delaware where the state allowed a much higher rate. That’s how he got his pockets lined.
