Chase catches Dave Ramsey fever

Here's a kicker ... Chase Bank is trying to ride on the back of Dave Ramsey! Check out Choke's (I mean, Chase's) TV spot advertising their new "Freedom!" card. Along with explaining all the little "perks", some yahoos keeps yelling "freedom!"; copying the hard-working joes and jills who call Dave's radio show to scream that they've deep-sixed Chase and are now debt-free.

Sound familiar? It should. The deal with the Chase ad is that, since so many people are beating down debt, the plastic pushers are trying to get you to associate a debt-free call with their plastic. Just goes to show, baby; momentum is turning from Chase to cash. Credit card companies want a piece of Dave's action but they ain't gonna get it. People who have a clue know that the way to wealth isn't credit cards, it's making a budget and remembering to save, save, save. What does that equal? You guessed it ... FREEDOM, BABY!

I can't believe Chase! At least all Dave Ramsey fans know the real meaning of the word "FREEDOM!"

And what's up with Discover cutting credit cards now? Pah-lease. They need to learn that ALL the cards need to go 'under the scissors,' not just everyone's elses but theirs!

That's what I'm talkin' about, baby. The only good credit card is one that's met the business end of a pair of scissors. Doing that will bring freedom, big-time.

Some freedom, huh? Freedom in the arms of 30% interest rates? Or freedom in the form of trapping the consumer?
