Might be my background - lived half my life in a country where credit cards are interest-free for religious purposes - but 10% still seems insane.

I'd never heard of this, how do the banks make any money on the card, annual fees or something?
Yes, we had a flat annual fee for use.

LOL, Bernie knows that's never going to happen. He's just reminding the world of an empty promise that trump made, and openly offering his help so that Trump can't say the Democrats blocked him. He'll still say it, but there will be readily available evidence to the contrary, not that that's ever mattered before.

Goddamn I fucking love Bernie.
I know Bernie is being polite and playing politics, but let’s be honest: Trump keeping this promise is about as likely as Hell freezing over.
It's not polite, it's calling him out. Trump will say/lie about anything. At one point Trump said exactly this. He didn't mean it, he just said some shit.
Bernie is repeating his own words because occasionally Trump says something good without any intent to follow up.
So Bernie is taking him at his word. He knows Trump will never do it, but if he can call the hypocrite out and trick him into agreeing, why not?
To want to talk about 4D Chess? There it is.
I guess we'll see, but I think we can all appreciate his willingness to go straight to brass tacks and hold Trump's feet to the flame while the entire Democrat Party leadership is still busy clutching their pearls.
That's Bernie for ya!

Why doesn’t Bernie understand Trump was just joking when he said that?!
Talk about owning the libs!
Bernie can’t even get a joke!
Just a prank bro! A social experiment!
Just like all that election fraud stuff. Totally joking guys. Got you good eh?

What good things that Trump did promise? I am surprised that he promised this even though we know that it won't happen.
Populists promise lots of good things; it’s just that most ring-wing populists tend to have their fingers crossed behind their back.
It's not about right wing or left wing populists. All populists lie because the only thing they want is to see their face on TV and to be in power.
How anyone could trust a man that cant even pay his contractors is beyond me.
I work blue collar, and lots of us are hopeful he will do the tax free overtime. I think he was just saying that, and I didn't vote for him, but that would be game changer.
Would it be a game changer? It means you can do overtime without being taxed for it, right? Or maybe less taxed.
That sounds like a quick and dirty way to exhaust the population even more in order to keep the bread and circus going on.
So you got the folks working 60-100 hours a week then because it makes them a lot more money, so they are just slaving their life away. Wouldn't a better fix be raising minimum wages?
I'm not the person you're replying to, but though I agree that raising the minimum wage would be helpful, plenty of people are working overtime as is, even if they make more than 15/hr just to make ends meet. Plenty of people are working overtime for 20-30/hr. Would their wages go up if minimum wage went up? Maybe, but likely not and there's certainly no guarantee. Plus, several states already have 15 as the minimum so it wouldn't really matter to them.
I'm a dem voter, and obviously there are much better ways to help people than tax free overtime, but I understand why that would be appealing.
it's been long enough that minimum wage should be $25/hr anyways

Bernie calling out bullshit yet again.
Bernie should run for president one of these days...
Somehow I don't think Mr "Pro-Business" will hamper banks' efforts to fleece us.
Is Burnie trying to duck season rabbit season Trump? I'm actually curious to see if this works
No. He's calling trump out.
Yeah. One never can tell which way old men with possible dementia will twitch.
Hell, maybe he'll have a stroke and wake up with integrity and a conscience. Weirder things have happened to nicer people, after all.
