While banks should be required to provide explicit and understandable disclosure
to anyone they do business with, perhaps a better bill would be one that
requires better disclosure to CONSUMERS and regulates unethical and predatory
fees for which credit card issuers are famous. After all, its consumers who pay
fees for using the cards and who cover the merchants' fees via markups in
products sold.

How about curbing the loan shark interest rates on interest rates. Limit the
credit card from changing fees and service charfes to interest at 36%. Tie the
interest to the Prime which is at 3% now.
