...lawsuit distinct from the DOJ case, 4 million retailers have joined in a suit against the companies, charging undue market control. Visa and MasterCard have a lot to lose as these cases progress: At the moment, the companies are on the take at both ends, charging credit card customers sky-high interest rates and leveling a sizable usage charge against retailers. Of course, if the store owners decline to take credit cards, they stand to lose considerable business from a public that has come to expect everybody to accept plastic payment...
...wrong choice and of losing their place on the ladder and getting stuck among the slackers. Thanks to his loony attitude toward higher education ("If you're smart enough to go to college, you're smart enough to pay for it yourself"), tuition at our state colleges will stay sky-high, meaning kids who graduate leave with a debt load as big as a barn.

She followed those up in the next two minutes with two more unanswered jumpshots, this time from the right side, opening up a quick 48-43 Bulldog lead and giving her 10 points in three minutes...
...admit I'm concerned about that one. The wealth effect of the sky-high market has been a wonder drug. Plunging share prices would erode people's security and sap consumer confidence. It could, well, kill me. On the bright side, though, I've got a better health plan than the President. Dr. Greenspan has an interest-rate antidote for every bug I catch. He gave me a quarter-point injection last week, and I expect two more by spring. They're painful but usually effective...
