Torches and pitchforks time. Meanwhile anything resembling civil liberty is slowly being outlawed. Ironic that overdraft fee liberties are a more urgent legislative task. That’s capitalism.
The big American banks always win. Remember the big taxpayer bailout given to the bug banks after they tanked the economy in 2008/2009? The 'Occupy Wall Street' and the 'We are the 99%' protests were born... and spanned the globe 🌎
It's all part of their plan to hasten the bankruptcy of the "undesirables" and consolidate the wealth with the top 1%. They'll just take it directly out of our bank accounts, like they did to the man in Seattle. DOGE wrongly marked him dead in the SS system, stopped his payments, AND debited $5k!
Theft by lobbyists and the politicians that work for them. The only people this happens to can't afford it. It costs the bank nothing. Everything is done by computer.
The solution for many. Switch to credit Unions, and other financial institutions that do not gouge their members. And, if possible, go to a cash based spending to budget. The funny thing, paydays loans are cheaper than some overdraft charges.
What, what? Do you not pity the poor banks? They simply want to wet their beak, that's all.
Wet, wet, wet. Give their loyal clients a soaking. Wet my beak! You gotta problem with that? 🤔 💭🗯️

but, at least it is clear where
the evil is coming from.
The banks are aware of the economic implosion ahead. Credit defaults, student loans defaults, mass unemployment is rising, social safety nets are being cut, healthcare and public safety compromised, and Tariffs. Overdrafts,foreclosures, and repossessions will explode in the coming months ahead.
How can MAGATS be so blind as to believe the GOP is "helping" them? How? Raising their taxes in 'tariff" fees that we the average consumer ultimately have to pay for? By cutting their medicaid? Firing thousands of vets without cause? Making it harder to get Social Security?
Indicative of the real welfare queens and terrorists you need to worry about, not someone from another country. They're right in your backyard, running multi-billion dollar corporations, and holding office.
Your oppression is their profession.
I haven’t had an overdraft in about 30 years, and I can’t imagine I will. But I intend to contact my bank today to inquire whether they will increase their fees, and take my accounts to a credit union if they do. #fightback

Why do pundits keep pretending the govt is by the people for the people? That’s gone. These are the Incorporated States of America and we are just man power to be used and thrown away.
The financial institution I worked for started salivating the moment Trump was sworn in the first time, in hopes some of Obama’s banking regs would get overturned.
Every way they can to turn you into a vassal of the technocratic state
The PayPal mafia have laid out their plans plainly, they aren’t even trying to hide behind the propped up, bought &lobbied politicians anymore
Or at least barely, they still use the orange buffoon.
The middle & lower class MAGA assume this will hurt those they hate more than it will hurt themselves.
Taking a chainsaw to your face because part of it might be woke.
• Stage 1: I get joy from succeeding.
• Stage 2: I only get joy when I succeed *and* others fail.
• Stage 3: I only get joy when others fail. Even if I also fail.
The rich. They asked for it. Because they won't be satisfied until they have ALL the money and the poor go extinct... And not because they want to fix being poor.
President Biden limited
bank overdraft fees
to $5.
Saving working Americans
a nice chunk of their
paychecks.
"But nobody feels it,"
the corporate media
told us.
& now.
Trump takes the fee cap
back off, so that
Banks can
f*ck us over again.
Are we "Great" yet?
There are reputable banks , and I am a customer of one which does not have overdraft fees , none , on their checking accounts . i don't post this to be in accord with the Republican legislation , at all . Rather to suggest the legislation becomes meaninglless to many bank customers .
Every damn one of the Republicans are corrupt and sycophants of Musk and tRump. Disgusting behavior from people who are supposed to serve the American public, not the orange man and themselves. History will come down HARD on them.
I've also noticed a big increase in the number of "you're pre-approved for credit" mailings - something that the Consumer Protection bureau had stopped . . . until the toilet pigs eliminated it.
They don’t want to get rid of the working poor they want to expand it. They want the working poor to be totally under control as indentured servants to corporations.
They will probably also rejoice at higher prices for much of everything, now that their leader is at war with Canada. Makes me think they must have a high threshold for pain, in order to make liberals suffer.
Poor people with not enough to get them through the week can now go overdrawn and be charged for doing so which means they need more next week so even more fees for the banks
Winner winner very expensive chicken dinners for the wankers, I mean bankers
So, is having to pay $36 BECAUSE you have $0 one of the ways America is being made "great again"? I need everyone who voted for the Danger Mango & his sycophants to make it make sense.
And even though they do not have to charge higher, few if any will have the decency to cap themselves. bezo the clown, muckburger, and madmuskum don't have to take more from taxpayers, but none has the decency to suggest stopping the upward flow.
It’s unadulterated trickle up economics pushed by all the corporate interests and tech bros that helped trump get elected. Fu€k the American oligarchy!!
If anyone is still doing a majority of your banking through a for-profit bank, shop around for a credit union. They almost always charge lower fees. Most (all?) are member owned, so they don't have the grotesque profit motive of for-profit banks.
Dems passed a $5 cap on bank fees.
GOP said no. We have banks to please.
The cap is now gone so folks pay more.
The rich get richer. Grandma’s still poor.
And the Senate Dems stood unified against it. Astounding, given that Feckless Schumer never met a greedy Banker he could say “no” to. Go after Republicans in the House NOW. One or two have to help vote this greedy $ grab down.
jokes on them though, trump is going to drive the economy so hard into the ground that everyone will default on their loans and the banks are going to crash harder than 2008. of course millions and millions will suffer too...
Surprisingly Josh Hawley was the only Republican to oppose it. Don't believe the bank group's excuse that Americans will be forced to find funding at unregulated lenders, that's BS. Overdraft shouldn't be a thing. If you don't have the money, no transaction.
The banks were losing fees by offering no fees for minimum balances and sometimes for direct deposit. We save at least $25.00 a month by maintaining a minimum balance and having direct deposit. Multiply that by 10,000 depositors.
How to keep the poor, poor, and the rich richer. Putting taxes, fees, tariffs, and other charges on goods and services of low income folks so the wealthy suck the life out of us. Grabbing more from those who can least afford it leads to Growing inequity and greed. End result will be massive revolt
The obvious path to correct this travesty is for the people to vote all these Republicans out of office, to a permanent retirement from government work.
The Republicans don’t care about fairness for the people. They will take every dime you have or how much you pay things. They only care about their billionaires and millionaires benefactors, who benefit from you suffering.
Makes my blood boil remembering hearing that evil elf Mike Johnson say after the election that the Republicans are ready to deliver for the American people.
The only things Republicans deliver are misery and hate.
This is Biden’s doing. Not Joe, of course. Hunter’s doing. It’s all laid out clear as day in his laptop which is in Ukraine and only Putin can help us get it back. That you would already know if you paid attention to any one of the 30,000 emails on Hillary’s private server. Benghazi! Stolen Valor!
They're all cowards. Collectively, the Republican Party doesn't have the courage of a single Ukrainian soldier. They're a disgrace to their constituents and the country to which they swore an oath to defend.
The CFPB has been effectively dismantled by the Trump regime. Now the banks have carte Blanche to charge whatever they want to and it is abhorrent and disgusting. It’s robbery.
I am old. I remember I was working at a small local bank when the concept of bank fees for everything was introduced. Not satisfied with the interest earned every night on their depositors money, the owners of the bank gleefully implemented those fees.
The banks feel that keeping track of your finances is so important that they need to have penalties that hurt in order to teach you a lesson. Please don't be a smartass and point out that nobody penalized the banks for tanking our economy in 2008.
I honestly can't understand why anyone uses a large bank for anything. Credit Unions are everywhere. They don't do this. I belong to three (my primary accounts and two others for a HELOC and car loan).

Just another day of fascist government corruption.

We need to get money out of politics.
If not that, then the Ottoman Empire.

It’s kinda heartbreaking how many people are completely motivated by fear and hate.

They shower these special

and refuse to tax them like a regular people.
Corporations are “special”

When it's precisely the opposite. GOP only wants to benefit the wealthy. Screw anyone else!
Bring on the peasant class!!
😔
They get to be careless with our information but if we mess up, there are consequences.
Welcome to The United Corporations of America.
They control the politicians. They write the laws. They take from our treasury.
The republic is dead.
Terrible 😢
The only things Republicans deliver are misery and hate.
And prison.
And poverty.
And illness.
When are we going to end this grossly incompetent putin thug gang.
