Marketing credit cards to students
According to this article, the Washington state legislature is considering a bill that would restrict the marketing of credit cards to students at state universities.
I agree that aggressive credit card marketing--not just to college students--is a problem, but I'm not so sure that restricting the marketing is the right solution. If we're going to talk about regulating credit card companies, I would like to see more attention given to interest rate caps and restriction of policies that result in higher fees and raised interest rates.
