In April, we ran a pieceabout how some Democrats had bowed to the wishes of the banking industry and delayed their credit card reforms until next year, even as consumers have struggled to keep up amid the recession. Inevitably, the banks have used the delayby busily installing rate and fee hikes to beat the stricter rules to their launch date.

The House Financial Services Committee, headed by Frank, has scheduled a hearing on the bill next Thursday.
