Right now VISA and MC can pretty much dictate the terms and if you don't like it you can try running a store that won't accept credit cards. Maybe they can stop offer all those reward systems that only favor the wealthy and businerss travelers. The rest of us are paying for those free miles with higher fees being passed onto to us from the retailer.

I'd like to use credit cards more without feeling guilty that it's costing the business money. *NM*

I'm so glad Visa and Mastercard are so worried about consumers, especially given THEIR tight budgets

You do know Barney Frank (Democrat and major liberal and progressive) is against the change

I didn't; guess that just means he's wrong. I fail to see how opposing this is progressive at all.

It has nothing to do with being progressive, it has everything to do with his banker constituents. *NM*

I figured, but, as you say, nothing progressive in that.

I am just pointing out that Evil is not unique to a single political party

It wouldn't be nearly as effective it it were; it's quite systemic, for a reason.

Sounds good to me, but it does seem like a natural monopoly, so that competition idea... eh.

True, that does amount to largely the same thing.
