The CFPB set a rule limiting credit card late fees to save American families ~$10 billion/yr.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce sued to stop it.

Republicans in Congress are trying to kill it.

The government is tackling junk fees, and corporate interests couldn't be more upset.

@rbreich I hope Joe Biden goes after their ridiculous variable interest rates, too.

@rbreich Does anyone remember the 18% cap on credit card interest rates from the 1970s or 1980s? Whatever happened to that?

Seems to suggest they aren't "for" the common folk, despite what they proclaim when trying to get elected. Same as Conservatives in Canada.
