On oldie but goodie from me. WHY are Credit Card interest rates still over 15% when bank rates are zero? Bank ripoff http://ow.ly/pLoU3057hg1

Donald Trump is “Blowing up” the Republican party. Note: The following is submitted for “debate”. This is not to pick sides, so if the comments degrade into name calling and mudslinging, please grow up and go somewhere else....

I’ve found a new Oxymoron. Much like Jumbo Shrimp & Higher Education. Add Presidential Debate-as there was nothing “Presidential” about it.
