   Anyone really paying attention knows that the Wall Street robber barons and energy CEO’s are the real enemy. Some of the usual right wing tools of the oligarchs are posting their daily nonsense trying to blame it on the Democrats or President Obama; but, the problem is that the government has been taken over by the greedy rich who won’t be satisfied until the middle class is destroyed and the rich can live in moated castles’s and suck the blood out of the peasant, slave class they’ve created by destroying the advances of the 20th century that produced a middle class. The real people’s message is being delivered by the Occupy Wall Street people.

   Anyone who’s paying attention would know that it was the government who introduced regulation over how much banks could charge vendors for a transaction. That act reduced revenue for the banks, and will now cause the consumer more as the banks will just find a different way to recoup those monies.
   Just another case of the law of unintended consequences.

   To an extent, I agree – there is certainly a large amount of crony capitalism (not true capitalism) that requires those in government to be in bed with those curing favors. However, this was just stupidity by the government to think that if they regulated one fee, the banks wouldn’t find another way to get that revenue.

    Narrowframeofreference: Forget the “Frank/Dodd” argument and realize that it was Phil Gramm who wrote the amendment that “couldn’t fail” that really allowed “the screw that flew”.

    This is all Obama and the Democrats Fault; they’re the ones who said bank must charge customers to use their debit cards for any use other than ATM transactions.

    Isn’t this perfect? Running Bank of America like a business! And people want the government to be run more like a business?? Well either you want them to account for the “reduced revenues” like a business would, or you think it’s wrong for the same reason you don’t think the government should expect to account for reduced revenues [Bush-Obama tax cuts]. Which is it?
