Credit industry tells Washington everything is OK

Gee, sounds just like Bush, Cheney and Rummy telling us that everything in Iraq is just fine. With a sprinkling of campaign donations for all, this issue could drag on for a while. A few radical, lefty, commie, freedom-hating states such as California, Illinois and Connecticut either have or are promoting credit freeze programs which provide consumers with more control over the "professionals" handing out credit. What a novel idea here where the actual consumer gets a bit of control over their own credit. Crazy!

Naturally the credit industry, our close friends who care only that we are properly served a healthy portion of credit, think that such a freeze is a problem and consumers will not be happy. Yep, we're all to stupid to handle that tricky process and would prefer allowing the credit industry to manage that process for us. Boy am I glad that our friends are there to help out.
