Charles Payne said a new suggestion from Bernie Sander and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to put a federal cap on credit card interest rates has little chance of success.
Democratic Socialist Senator and 2020 Democratic Candidate for Presidency Bernie Sanders (D-VT) and Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) introduced legislation on Thursday to thank credit card interest rates of 15 percent.
Under the proposed legislation, states could establish their own borders.

Richer Americans pay 17 percent interest. It's obvious they should say it's obviously unfair."
