Sometimes, the party out of power works just as hard as the party in power.
Like today. The Democratic-controlled Senate wasted its time passing a bill that protects consumer rights from predatory practices of credit-card companies. From now on, banks won't be allowed to send bills as little as 14 days before their due date, nor will they be able to retroactively raise interest rates, or charge you a late fee if your payment due on a Sunday or holiday arrives one day late. Among other things. Those are just the highlights.
Not to be outdone, top Washington-area Republicans, including party chair Michael Steele, gathered at a luncheon to debate passing a resolution calling on the D's to rename their party the "Democrat Socialist Party."
Good work everyone.
