The Guardian, Why are US consumers so angry? It’s not just prices

“Don’t look to Congress for a fix, at least in the near term, said Ira Rheingold, the executive director of the National Association of Consumer Advocates.

‘Regulations and comments on regulations and lobbying to fix consumer law, that’s pretty much a useless premise at this moment in time,’ said Rheingold.

Instead, a new wave of civil litigation could be coming. At law firms that represent consumers the ‘phones are ringing off the hook, because the federal government has abdicated its responsibility’, Rheingold said.”
