> make a lot of money off of interest

Looking at the debt numbers (something like 150 billion over 90 days delinquent) that may not even be the case, if you cover unpaid defaults with interest paid.

The mentioned idea of capping interest at 10% would probably mean credit cards not being issued to a large swath of the population.
