>> So I'm sure you can pardon me if I don't shed a tear for the banks

I feel the same way. I believe the banks set themselves up for this.

Honestly, I also differ with most conservatives about the credit card companies, as well -- I believe they are scamming the system and taking advantage of people who can least afford it.

The bankruptcy bill a few years ago was a travesty, in my view, as it was the only real "check and balance" against issuers taking advantage of people -- when the banks were exposed on the bankruptcy potential, they were motivated to be more judicious. Now there is no reason for them not to try to ensnare anyone they can.
