Floored!

The Federal Reserve sets new credit card rules.  From the story:

The Federal Reserve has knocked the “floor” out from under variable interest rate credit card accounts.

Consumer groups are applauding a new rule, released by the Fed this week, that will force credit card issuers to do away with a growing industry tactic that benefited banks but troubled consumer advocates: The Fed said that on variable rate credit cards, interest rates must be allowed to fall, not just rise.
