Yeah, well, if the federal law is not enforced by the feds, and it obviously isn't, then the law does the consumer no good. The feds don't care about the consumer. They care about big business. If the feds really cared about the consumer, we wouldn't have the widespread ripoffs referred to by an above poster in the credit and insurance industries. Or in the fields of auto repair, building contracting, and medicine (particularly pharmeceuticals, to name just a few. Nor would we have the obvious and blatant price-fixing, and the price-gouging that goes hand in hand with it, in industry after industry.
