<div><em><strong>Jacquot- Un chat furieux</strong> asked: </em><br/><br/><br/>It seems to me like the interest rates that they charge are absolutely unbelievable. Especially when they slip it past someone on page 28 of their &#8220;rights&#8221; package. </p>
<p>However, I wonder about the public&#8217;s lack of financial education and how much responsibilty a person has to take for their own actions. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m taking an economics course now and it seems like, when reading the basics of capitalism, that a lot of it really seems to depend on consumer&#8217;s being rather, frankly, dumb. </p>
<p>Does the Government have a place in &#8220;protecting&#8221; people, or is this really an example of &#8220;buyer beware&#8221;?<br/><br/></div>
