Reps in govt are moving to cap lending interest rates at 10% 🙄 fucking idiots. All this is going to do is eliminate all lending options to anyone who has a credit score under 800 because banks take a significant risk when lending money out even at higher interest rates considering the chance of defaults are really high. Being capped , they have absolutely no interest in lending to anyone besides older individuals with an A+ financial record. If you thought it was difficult to own anything now, it'll be impossible if this goes through. The only silver lining would be this is great for Bitcoin.

Compared to the fed the regular banks are honorable and don't deserve to be fucked with for the feds fuck ups.

I thought the 10% number was related to credit card interest rate cap.

Wait, banks actually loan money out at 10% interest rate or more? If they cap everything then I wouldn't be surprised if banks just begin making everyone pay a 10% interest rate. 🤷‍♂️

Regardless of the method it's all debt issuance and I agree, they're going to just implement a 10% on all rates probably to make up for risk. I don't think this will be pushed through though although it seems as if it may have bipartisan support just not enough.

Also, this will run payday lenders and fintech out of business haha

Keep kicking the bricks out of their house of cards till the whole corrupt system implodes on itself.

It's inevitable, you can only go so long issuing debt without any product or actual sevicebehind it.
