Mixed Blessings

The Credit Card bill passed the House yesterday. It's already passed the Senate. I'm not sure how I feel about the credit card portion. When the government sticks it nose into the free market there are usually unintended consequences and those consequences invariably screw the consumer. For that alone, as much as it hurts, I hope the Obamameister vetoes it. The bright side, if he doesn't, and I don't think he will, is that an amendment to allow carry in the National Parks, if local laws allow carry outside the parks, was attached to the bill and there's not a damn thing he can do about it but veto. And this after the Brady Bunch managed to get the Bush rule, that allowed the same thing, canned in the courts. Man, that's gotta hurt.
