NOT!

Needed to be done; figures that the small businesses the GOP always says they love and work so hard for, since they are the backbone of the economy (that last part is actually true), get much needed help via an legal clause added by Dick Durbin (D-IL) and proposed by the Fed when DEMOCRATS hold the White House. I love how the credit card lobby tries to somehow hide behind small businesses in attacking this because they don't have Visa or Mastercards audacity in crying about how hard their lot is when their profiteering has helped bankrupt the country. The proof is in the pudding though; let's see if the GOP puts the peoples money where their mouths are or caves to the banking and other corporate lobbies that own them so the thing dies in committee. And if an outraged public is then convinced it failed because of the evil Democrats (if the public even hears about it at all).

I'm not a cynic, just a realist; this is something that's long been needed and I hope it goes through, but I'll believe it when I see it.
