You're Paying So They Can Screw Up Again
-
Never underestimate the resiliency of the nation's banks, who are adding all sorts of new fees on everything. You fought them on debit card fees and won? Fine, they're tacking on more fees on every other thing you do at the bank to make up for it. Now, this is all ridiculous, since the way banks are SUPPOSED to make money is by taking your savings and checking money, investing it and lending it, and earning it that way. If they screwed up with bad investments and taking unreasonable risks, why are YOU paying for that? Oh, by the way, the nation's financial institutions are now investing in mortgage-backed bonds again, and if you're thinking, say, isn't that a major reason for the collapse of the entire economy just three and a half years ago, well, yes, as a matter of fact, it is.
