Default Credit Card Documentary

I got this on one my lists


The PBS show Frontline is airing a documentary on credit cards tomorrow night
(Tues, 11/23) at 8pm CST. Here's what the promo says:

"The average American family today carries eight credit cards. Credit card debt
and personal bankruptcies are now at an all time high. With no legal limit on
the amount of interest or fees that can be charged, credit cards have become the
most profitable sector of the American banking industry: more than $30 billion
in profits last year alone. FRONTLINE and The New York Times examine how the
credit card industry became so pervasive, so lucrative, and so politically
powerful."
