I'm writing because college students and young adults were screwed by Washington. An amendment to cap usury interest rates was defeated by the U.S. Senate, and President Obama signed the reform legislation without the capped interest rate amendment.

As a young adult, I am tired of being screwed by Washington. I'm over the fact Obama has lied about the Iraq War, wiretapping, Patriot Act, war, tribunals, Gitmo, and everything else concerning the neo-conservative war agenda, but the actions of Congress this week and President Obama's lack of concern for young adults being used by credit card companies has made me say enough. He had the opportunity to pay back one of his most loyal bases by pushing for the capped interest rate amendment, preventing usury of young people and was silent. College students and campuses need to erupt with our own protests against the banking and Washington establishment that expect us to fight their wars, pay their social security, all while they screw us on credit we need to survive. Enough is enough. Sadly, no one will be around this summer to make such happen.
