they are earning their way out of their big credit losses. this is one of the strategies the Fed is using to help make the bank stronger. these low short term interest rates allow banks to make huge profits to help cover their huge loan write-offs.

Should the government place a limit on the interest rate that a credit card company can charge consumers?

Question by Mr_Poortom: Should the government place a limit on the interest rate that a credit card company can charge consumers?
Does the government have the right to reduce a private sector company’s ability to mitigate consumer credit risk?

Will many Americans be deprived of access to credit as a result, with the ultimate consequence of reduced consumer spending and a weakened economy?

Or will such regulation result in the improved financial stability of the American family and thereby a strengthened economy and country?
To be clear:

The question is SHOULD the government do this. Not DO they.

Fertility Rate Reaches 25-Year Low (New Report from Demographic Intelligence)

Charlottesville, Virginia (PRWEB) April 18, 2012

The long arm of the Great Recession continues to weigh heavily on American families, and will drive the U.S. fertility rate to a 25-year low in 2012. The Total Fertility Rate (TFR) in the U.S. is predicted to fall to 1.89 children per woman in 2012, from a recent high of 2.12 per children per woman in 2007, according to a new report from Demographic Intelligence.

This trend is unexpected because fertility rates usually rise within a year or two of the end of a recession, according to the April edition of The U.S. Fertility ForecastTM from Demographic Intelligence (DI). The fertility fallout of the Great Recession will prove longer and deeper than many expected, said Bradford Wilcox, Ph.D., president of DI. Young adults are gun shy about having kids today, in large part because unemployment and economic fear remain unusually high among this demographic.

Drawing on an extensive analysis of demographic, economic, and cultural trends, including Google search trends, the new report from DI provides detailed projections of U.S. birth trends in 2012, 2013, and 2014. Three findings from The U.S. Fertility ForecastTM are particularly noteworthy:
