I would want to have someone in government fight for the rights of us, the consumers, who got scammed out of our money when we bought a house. That, to me, is the most important thing about any financial reform. It should not be just so predatory lending, mortgage fraud and foreclosure will almost not happen ever again in the future. The people who suffered before should also be helped and seen. For all these years, I have felt invisible in my grief. If we were given our money back, then and only then would I believe in this reform. Eugenia Renskoff

Argh! You just repeated the "statistic" that Meg Whitman spent $150K per vote, which is a miscalculation that one Twitter user accidentally made (and has since apologized for). Whitman spent $81 million and received 1.1 million votes. That's $74 per vote.

Is there any consumer protection against runaway compounded interest (read: to prevent consumers from being charged interest when the amount due is clearly unpayable)?
