lets look at the hypocrite ****** Durbin (D-Walgreens) this supposed rep for the people, whose wife is employed(lobbyist) by Walgreens, bangs his drum bashing BOA over a $5 monthly fee imposed on accounts. You might say ok he's fighting for us. Not so! He promoted the reduction/removal of debit card fees charged to retail giants like Walgreens, and left the banks to figure out how to handle the cost of transaction. BOA adds a 5 dollar service fee to debit cards to off set the cost of doing business created by debit card users that had been paid by the merchant to cover their loss. Then Durbin screams for all to hear about how unfair this "new" fee is. It was his own effort that got the cost passed on to the consumer in the first place, via his lobbyist wife. In another dose of complete hypocricy this clown has no issue about us from Illinois paying 5 bucks a gallon for fuel. That fee paid by everybody is ok.
