With all the abusive interest rates and fees , lax credit, toxic imports, and tainted food - this seems like it could be needing some attention. But I don't see it.

Interest rates are being permitted to change after the transaction is complete - no ability to beware is given to the consumer.
And are you actually supporting the removal of poisoned toys and tainted food as a "nanny" activity?
Deregulation is a slippery slope to market dysfunction and chaos.

Caveat emptor! (Let the buyer be ware) There are plenty of nanny states in the world...thank God the US isn't one of them...yet.
Edit: Umm...the buyer KNOWS the interest rates/fees can change without notice...it's in the contract agreement. By using that credit card/applying for that ARM, the borrower agrees to the terms given. If you apply for a fixed rate...it stays fixed. As to tainted food/poisonous toys: Buy local. If you don't know the origin of the products you purchase, you're trusting your safety to profit/power seeking strangers. None of my children's toys have been affected by the recalls. Neither my pets, nor my family have been affected by tainted food. I need no nanny state. I have no sympathy for those who do. Deregulation leads to a free market: The most efficient and functional market possible. Laissez-faire....isn't capitalism beautiful?!

Hopefully the House does so the President doesn't have to waste his time with such mere BS.

You're kidding with this right? How about we add leash laws to the list too?
