"It's not the liquor store's fault if you are a drunk and they sell you a bottle. Same with using credit you can't handle."

Yes, they are or at least a bar is culpable in such a case. Banks are playing a game with the future of idiot young folks and others in this nation. The change in law gives the banks more clout. Libetarian rhetoric aside, there are folks out there who are victimized by what are clearly criminal scams all the time and when caught the folks who do this go to jail. Banks and your liquor store or bars are just a step away from doing that. Before money is doled out folks gettting it should be deemed credit worthy and banks credit rating should be at stake if they are playing fast and loose.
