Having a credit card back then seemed like a privilege, now the gov't wants to make it a right. Go figure. Anytime the gov't gets involved in anything, they make it more complicated and it hurts more people than help. One could say they will actually hurt the economy as people would then not have the ability to spend more to buy necessities. I never thought a credit or charge card was a right, but I guess Comrade Sanders and Comrade Cortez see it differently.
