Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent just dropped a bombshell that could change the U.S. economy overnight: a proposed 10% cap on all credit card interest rates for one year.
If you're carrying a balance at 29% APR, this is the "Financial Bailout" you’ve been waiting for.
The "Robin Hood" Strategy:
Debt Relief: This move aims to strip billions in interest profit from big banks and put it back into the pockets of everyday Americans.
Economic Spark: The goal? Give households enough "breathing room" to start spending again, potentially fueling the next leg of the 2026 recovery.
The Catch: Banks are already panicking. Critics warn that if this passes, credit card companies might slash credit limits or cancel those 2% cashback rewards to save their bottom line.
💬 Vibe Check: Credit Relief or Credit Crunch?
Bessent is betting that "Resetting" consumer debt is the only way to kill the ghost of inflation. But will banks retaliate by making it harder to get a card? 🏛️📈
Would you trade your "Cashback Rewards" for a guaranteed 10% interest rate? 👇
Drop a "💳" if you want the cap now or a "🏦" if you think this will hurt the banking system!
