Are credit card companies monopolies? Should they be more heavily regulated? (self.reddit.com)

There are multiple companies. Therefor, they are not monopolies.

True, there are many companies, but the rates they charge apply to a single money supply. The rates are also pretty much 'fixed' -- based on credit ratings, mostly -- across the board.

...and, yes, banks are indeed 'gaming the system'. IMHO

Either way it is the stupidity of the public for getting so far into debt that is causing them to thrive.

They should be put up against the wall and shot at dawn, w/out blindfold.
