things will end badly.

I can't help but think that older retired seniors that rely heavily on interest income have and will continue to suffer badly. ( eg: mom and pop savings supplementing old paltry pensions) Not a nice thought.

Not only that but credit issuers have been hiking fees at a furious pace and greatly reducing grace periods .

I disagree that it doesn't trickle down to the credit card users. I get "free credit card checks" in the mail almost every week to pay off my credit cards with and have 5.47% yearly interest on the balance for the life of it.

The banks are trying everything they can think of to create more debt.
