    "MasterCard said Thursday its fourth-quarter profit jumped 23 percent as the company raised its fees to offset fading credit card use in the U.S.

    Yet MasterCard's performance paled in comparison with its rival, Visa,"

    ===========

    The entire conservative "hate/destroy govt" bull is smokescreen to deflect anger away from the real villains, the US corps ing over citizens and sucking down the wealth (as if many Americans had any "wealth")

    They were given this window to do it in. Pretty soon, the credit card companies will be reregulated, so they're getting their licks in now, as predicted. Ho hum.

    "work of conservatives"

    ... is raising the smoke screen/distraction of "let's all hate/destroy govt as THE problem", as St Ronnie made famous.

    The Repugs/conservatives are business-friendly lackeys/ s of corporate/capitalist interests.

    Don't like the fees, don't carry the card. It's not that difficult a concept.

    Darrin hated it. He dropped the *this thread sucks* bomb over there, so I guess that's why he's spreading the same vibe here: it might look incongruous over there.

    No .

    Use a card for emergencies, and to reduce the cash you carry. Simply pay it off each month.

    I have no issues with my Mastercard.

    When I do make a large purchase, I pay a 5 x or more the minimum balance, and at least 1/5th my balance. Those of you paying minimum, or near the minimum are just giving your money away. Don't blame the card companies, it's your stupidity.

    I don't know why lefties run away from the word socialist. Lots of people are proud to call themselves socialist. Instead for some reason they think calling themselves "progressive" is better even though that term has been around for more than 100 years and had a terrible connotation when it was widely used. Anyway people on the right just started using the term socialist because communist was a little too specific and narrow in meaning.

    Reminds me of when they ran from the term liberal.

    WTF...

    You need a link that tells you what to believe? Isn't the truth obvious?

    You still can't get it right.

    Do you lie purposely or are you that stupid?

    I said I want to shoot illegal aliens. Not Mexicans.

    Getting off topic but just read a good blog on how to get better credit:
    lifehacker
    Borrow from Yourself – This is the easiest method to establish your own credit history without a credit card. Buy a Certificate of Deposit (CD) from a bank. Then take out a secured loan against the CD for the same amount of time. Put the money you borrowed in a high-yield checking account. Then use the money you borrowed to payback the secured loan. You'll be establishing a credit history and earning interest on your checking account and CD. There are some downfalls to this method. You need the starting capital to fund the CD. You could end up paying more interest on the secured loan than earn through your CD and checking account; however, it's probably less than what you'd pay in fees and interest if you used a credit card. Just make sure to weigh the true costs before going down this road.http://lifehacker.com/5464401/build-...yline=true&s=i

    Death penalty with no trial for crossing a border? You're a really sick wanting to go out and murder people, and not doing it only because it's illegal.
