Quote:"We’re going to put a temporary cap on credit card interest rates,” the Republican presidential nominee said at a rally in New York on Wednesday.

Cant wait to hear all the anti-communists and anti-socialists here support this gem from their guy....

My opinion ---- even *more* brain dead, idiotic, and explicitly more left wing than Kamala's federal anti-gouging suggestion.

Quite the champion of business. I havent heard a fktard proposal of explicit price caps on anything in a long time -- kind of equivalent to the long time idiot idea of rent control.

lol---you do realize that usury laws have been a part of America since before the inception of the United States. Somehow capitalism has survived it.

As I said before---your getting one or the other. If the Orange Man made you big sad with his "price control" on interest rates (which is still twice to 3 times the treasury rate), your just gunna luv Mamala's cradle to grave "Social Equity" Socialist banquet served with a tasty Green New Deal sauce on the side.

lol....that reminded me of Soylent Green----"Its people"!!!!

Tell me where I have ever uttered a word of support for the cradle to grave socialist banquet.

I realize there have been usury laws. I also realize there were blue laws in Texas that forbade the sale of just about everything on a Sunday. I dont use the historical existence of those blue laws and 'hey, they didnt destroy America' as present support for them.

The historical existence of either really doesnt enter into whether I think either one is proper or correct.

Price controls are price controls. Rent control, interest rate caps, minimum wage --- they are all 'socialistic' in nature.

When you discount minimum wage and some places that have rent control - I cant think of very many price controls that have great effect. The effect of the Marquette case and DIDCMA blew the enforcement of credit card and banks for usury issues out of the water.

So no -- state usury laws for the most part are a joke and ineffectual.

Again, price controls are price controls. Price controls are part and parcel of socialist and communist ideology. That persuasion being the verbal calling catcall of today's Republicans.

And what does Trump do? Proposes massive price controls on consumer credit. Right in line with the hard righties of Sanders and Durbin. Really laughable in my opinion, given that Trump is now parroting Durbin and Bernie, all the while railing like a banshee about commies. Really kind of funny when you think about it.

Missed the point again. Like it or not---WE are going to GET TRUMP OR THE OTHER (that "we" includes you). I didnt say you supported cradle to grave socialistic policies or the New Green Deal. Im simply pointing out what the "OTHER" candidate means for America.

I get it---you didnt like the interest rate cap idea. Im not sure Im crazy about his stand on Ukraine. No candidate is going to mirror any constituent 100%.

Besides, if we wait a few days history tells us Harris will suddenly make "interest rate caps" part of her platform making it an irrelevant point of comparison between the candidates.
