If it were me, I'd prefer Rob Corddry. He at least would make the job amusing. Then I'd feel like something was coming to me out of the deal.

I totally agree about not discussing your medical treatment with your television sets. It leaves the populous grossly under-informed. However, I have to say that my for-fun money comes out of my penny collection that I roll up every now and again so you may have lost me there ;)

I keep reading it as Corduroy.

I think he also needs to have the ACTUAL price of items you purchase on credit or with loans charged to you at the time of the transaction.

"Your total is $200.50. Will this be cash or credit?"

"Credit."

"Excellent...your new total since you will only pay the minimum payments will be 450.67 and you will be paying on this item for the next 6 years cause your interest rate is so high. Would you like to open a (insert store name) card today? We can get that down to 4 years and your total would be 351.83?"

I think we should have to see the totals on credit cards much like we see calories on items when we go to McDonalds. Wait, never mind.

Mr Cordray...GET RID OF CALORIE INFORMATION AT MCDONALDS!!

Pennies and dollar coins should go away.

You write up the petitions for those items, and I'll get you signatures. As for me, Mr. Cordray, please tell the credit card companies to STOP sending me checks to use when "only a check will do". When the hell is that exactly? Checks are for paying credit cards OFF, not racking up 45% APR in interest charges.

Oh, and pennies are for the kids - they think they're rich when they've got a bazillion of them rolling around.

My sentiments exactly.

I keep seeing "Corday" and think its the hot british doctor on ER. Oh wait. That wasnt the question ? Sorry.

Dunno if this has any truth, but Bill Maher once noted that some lobby for coin-operated laundromat owners squashed a bill to change the metal content in our coins (to save on the cost of producing coins, bringing them closer to actual monetary value). It's a simple country: We have the best politicians money can buy.

I think the penny is on its merry way out anyway. I remember seeing something about that. They cost more than a penny to make anyhow, so it really makes no sense.

Squash the white-collar bankers who scammed hard-working people and punish them the way they punish blue-collar workers for doing far less damaging acts.

I love the idea of stopping the credit card offers and the Final Notice things which cause my anxiety to go sky-high. Those companies require their employees to offer the cards and may even fire them for not closing the sale with enough of them. This is completely backwards if we are to get the economy back on track for the long term.

I'd like him to stop the "Bank of Jonesing" sketchy Check Cashing places in poor neighborhoods, or at least make them operate in the realm of not loan shark territory rates, payday loan, car title places by doing something to get people access to real banking, like credit unions or "hey, you took the bailout, now return the favor to the American people by giving people who don't have direct deposit access to a checking and savings account."

I'd like him to do real truth in lending so people can understand the terms of student loans and credit cards, find a use for mortgage brokers besides lying on applications and driving people to the most profitable loans, allow people who live in cities but don't have millions of dollars to buy municipal bonds so that we own our own communities rather than having to go through big mutual funds to do it and clearly divide investment houses from banks so its really, really clear what's FDIC insured and what isn't.

Also, make Cracker Jack give real toy surprises again. A folding head of George Washington isn't a surprise.

I'd like to see nickels go away. Pennies don't bother me. Also, I'd like to see programs for child-free, single people become available. We are the last forgotten recipients. Of anything.

I think cable companies should not be allowed to charge $80/mo (minimum) so that we can watch television.

I agree with you on the prescription commercials. I think they're not allowed in Europe.

And seriously, store credit cards need to go, or at least it should be illegal to fire someone for not conning a minimum number of people into signing up.

Tell 'em Aunt Becky! I like to shock the cashiers and pay with my debit card not the store "get me into debt" card. Americans have confused the definitions of the terms paid for and financed. We need to go old school and relearn budgeting and saving!

Shiny pennies are pretty. I hope if I mug someone I get a handful of pennies.

Somehow I think we'd all be better off with Rob Corddry at the helm. As long he was backed, as always, by Jon Stewart.

And down with change! Except for pennies, which I need by the handful for my toddler to slide down the slots of those roll-y things at the zoo. I like actually watching my money circle the drain.

I'd ask him to lend me $20, just saying.

YES! The drug commercials. gah.

I hear you on the store credit card one! I got in so much trouble at my old cashier job for not asking.

I would love to see things like loans and lending get fixed up. And to understand how credit scores work.

Those dollar coins are the most annoying things. My husband likes them, and I know I've used them more than once to pay for something, thinking they were a quarter, and not being corrected by the cashier.

So if he could refund all the instances of lost 75 cents I've endured, that would be great.

Pennies need to go away. And dimes need to be bigger. Because those silly things get lost too easy. And while he's getting rid of things that tear at my heartstrings making me want to spend all my money, can he nix all those animal shelter commercials with the sad eyes and music? Don't get me wrong, I love animals. My cat who hates everyone is a shelter cat, and I love her to bits. But every time I see those commercials I want to adopt about 15 more animals, and then how would I pay the electric bill?!

You know what else? I agree that pennies should be gone finally. And prices should include taxes if they apply, so we don't have to try to figure that all out while shopping.

After watching TV this evening, and listening to all those awful commercials for drugs, I am in complete agreement that we need to get those off the air. Ugh!

Yes! Taxes should be included in the listed prices. It's so frustrating trying to sort it out. It's the reason I never carry cash anymore. I never know if I have enough cash for what I need. I get that taxes exist, but just tell me what I owe total please.

Resign!
