Perhaps he should be more gentle, a bit more patient. After all, Bubb and Kaufman are admittedly just young, budding, novice economists; give them some space, surely their worst work still lies ahead! Actually, I was well pleased with both the tone and stridency of Mr. Kahr's rebuttal. Having watched his interview on FRONTLINE's 2004 program, Secret History of the Credit Card, I had always assumed that Mr. Kahr's views had been... http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/story/2009/11/kahrdinal-sins.html http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/story/2009/11/kahrdinal-sins.html The Card Game Mon, 02 Nov 2009 11:17:10 -0500 A year ago, Obama was elected president, and we aired a report on his life and career.

One hundred percent of credit cards offered online by the leading bank card issuers continue to include practices that will be outlawed once legislation passed in May takes effect next year, according to a new report by the Pew Health Group's Safe Credit Cards Project. The report also found that advertised credit card interest rates rose an average of 20 percent in the first two quarters of 2009, even... http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/story/2009/10/still-waiting-unfair-and-decep.html http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/story/2009/10/still-waiting-unfair-and-decep.html The Card Game Thu, 29 Oct 2009 11:30:00 -0500 We've just put up some compelling behind-the-scenes footage and commentary from the producers of this acclaimed report.

On the contrary, consumers will get less satisfaction from the more restricted set of card offers that will be available. Late payers will pay less in fees, and those who pay on time will pay more. People who borrow and don't pay are not, as Bubb alleges, paying for my vacation. Rather, they increase the rates and fees you and I... http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/story/2009/10/andrew-kahrs-response-to-bubb.html http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/story/2009/10/andrew-kahrs-response-to-bubb.html The Card Game Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:10:00 -0500 --from Ryan Bubb and Alex Kaufman, doctoral candidates in economics at Harvard Industry representatives would have you believe that the Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility and Disclosure Act enacted in May spells the end of the credit card as we know it. President Obama's proposal last week to create a Consumer Financial Protection Agency to enforce the law has increased the industry's concerns. But the example of cards issued by credit unions puts the lie to these claims. Credit unions largely conform to the new rules already, while profitably maintaining the basic features that users know and love.
