Washington’s credit card price controls will hurt consumers
WHY HAS SEN. DICK DURBIN (D-ILL.) declared war on credit cards?
Americans are in love with paying with plastic.
Perhaps too much so — given that credit card debt now exceeds $1 trillion.
But paying with plastic has become a sort of American pastime — so popular and convenient (especially reward programs that o er cash-back payments, frequent yer miles and other discounts) that there are now an estimated 500 million to 1 billion credit cards in circulation and close to another 1 billion debit cards. This means there are multiple more credit and debit cards than there are adults in the U.S.
That’s a big change from 20-to-30 years ago when only upper-income Americans had access to plastic cards for swiping (and now tapping), while middleand especially lower-income Americans had to carry around wads of cash for transactions or go to a loan shark for emergency money.
But you know another group that loves the convenience of credit cards? Stores, restaurants, merchants, online services. They have vastly expanded retailers’ transactions and sales. This year, there will be nearly $5 billion of plastic card (or cellphone)
nancial transactions, two to three times the amount in 2012.
Some smaller stores don’t accept credit cards, but those numbers are dwindling. Even corner shoeshiners are accepting plastic these days. Taking Visa, Mastercard, American Express or any of the dozens of other credit cards also reduces the burden of handling cash, reduces theft at the cash register, and in most cases, the credit card companies assume the risk of nonpayment. They do all this for an “interchange fee” charged to merchants that averages around 2%.
What retailers don’t like is paying that fee.
They’ve run to Congress for help, and Durbin has obliged with his so-called Credit Card Competition Act. Given that there are dozens of cards to choose from, and that retailers are free to create their own credit cards for customers (as used to be the case with Sears and J.C. Penney cards), the argument that Visa and Mastercard lack competition is a bit far-fetched. Durbin’s bill would impose implicit price controls on credit cards by mandating that every Visa and Mastercard card also carry the logo of a cutrate competitor’s network. This is like requiring McDonald’s to show its customers the Burger King and Wendy’s menu and prices. What’s demoralizing is
that many Senate Republicans have signed on to this bill to regulate an industry that works for everyone.
Last week, the senators released a “study” claiming that this bill would save the average consumer $1,000 a year. But this was the very same claim Durbin made about his debit card price controls. The consumers didn’t save money; the merchants pocketed nearly all the money and it nearly ended “free checking” services by banks. To the extent that there are cash savings passed on to consumers, The Wall Street Journal has noted that this would likely come at the expense of fewer reward points for credit card holders.
And if swiping fees are such a nancial burden on small and large retailers, let’s see them go for a few weeks without them.
The credit card market isn’t broken; it’s ourishing as America moves rapidly to becoming a nation where nearly everyone has access to the convenience of cheap credit at their ngertips. The last thing consumers and sellers need is for Congress to “ x it.”

As manufacturing business and numerous franchises moved in, it had a domino e ect on growth, Price explains. “It brings more activities, better restaurants and shopping as the quality of life improves with these higher-paying jobs.”
Noting that a ordable housing attracts outsized attention, “it dawned on me that being able to a ord a house is about having a job that pays a livable wage,” he says. “There’s hardly a house on the market for less than $300,000, and at a $30,000 a year salary – you can’t a ord it.”
He believes this job-focused approach will increase Siler City’s standard of living to better match the eastern part of the county.

“I’m just trying to level the playing eld.”
The work is never done, though.
Major issues face both residents and government, including water bills, water pressure, sewer issues and aging water pipes.
The sewer system is Price’s top priority. “Our infrastructure is over 50 years old,” he says. “We have implemented a plan to start replacing sections of the pipes over time, and replace water meters.” The average lifespan of a water meter is less than 20 years, and some in Siler City are barely hanging on.
“Some of these meters are over 35 years old,” Price says. New meters will be digital, allowing customers to manage their accounts online and saving the city money on meter reading costs. This project won’t be completed in a twoyear term, which is one reason Price hopes to be reelected and see

Price’s water bill increased recently too, so he sympathizes with the complaints of residents who have seen their bill go up.
“If you have a concern over your water bill, please contact the town,” he said. “There could be an issue with your meter, or it could have been read wrong. Please contact the city and let us know. Even my mom got mad at her water bill!” Price laughed, adding, “I’m serious.”
“But you have to look at it on a case-by-case basis,” he added, noting the rising costs of chemicals and materials required to maintain the water and sewer utility operations.

sioner Kyle Shipp during the nomination process.
The board’s consent agenda—a list of items considered routine and requiring no discussion—included approval for the Pittsboro Rotary Club’s Annual Street Fair on Saturday, October 28, 2023 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event will be held at a townowned lot at 50 W. Salisbury Street and will feature areas designated for alcohol sales and consumption.
Bringing a touch of levity to proceedings, Mayor Perry spoke fondly of the recent 73rd County Fair, in particular her blue ribbon-winning vegetables — okra and green peppers, speci cally, although she lamented that her canned plums were less celebrated. Perhaps next year.
