The sad reality of life in America is that many people rely on credit cards to help them maintain the quality of living to which they are accustomed. This can lead the people ending up in serious financial trouble when their debt gets too large for them to handle. To this end, the Obama administration has enacted a program called the Credit Card Forgiveness Act. If you are looking for a way to get out from under your overwhelming debt, this act may be of particular interest to you.

The act applies to Americans who are over $10,000 in credit card debt. If this applies to you, you may be eligible to apply for the United States government to forgive up to 50% of that debt. Keep in mind, that this is not intended to be a magic bullet to cure you of debt-merely to assist you to a situation where that debt is more manageable. The idea behind the act itself is that helping debtors who are in over their heads have a more manageable sum to work with will give them the confidence they need to be able to take greater control over their financial lives in the future.

A little-noticed move by American Express to ban the purchase of medical marijuana with its credit cards has reignited a longstanding debate: How much can a credit card company control what you buy?
To the surprise of consumers, major credit card companies are making decisions about what they can and can't buy with their credit cards. What's off-limits? Legal purchases like gambling chips and donations to at least one controversial non-profit organization; in some cases, buying pornography is also restricted, and so, increasingly, is medical marijuana. Last month, shortly before Delaware became the 16th state to legalize medical marijuana, American Express told merchants that its cards could not be used to buy it.
