This latest maneuver to raise interest rates and lower credit lines is costly and unfair. It isn’t just kicking someone while they’re down, rather it appears they’re beating, kicking, punching, stomping and hitting them over the head with a two by four before finally spitting on them and then hammering another nail in their coffin!
