This is good news for local banks and credit unionsвЂ“they picked up 650,000 new accounts in the third quarter of 2011. Many of the fees are those вЂњha ha ha, we got youвЂќ fees are overdraft charges.Д«ut many customers are fed up and have taken their business elsewhere.

That is three times what folks paid two decades ago. In 2009 the average checking account holder paid $327 in annual fees. Bank of America, CitiGroup and JP MorganвЂ“after the big bailoutвЂ“were supposed to lower fees for consumers, not raise them. HereвЂ™s an exampleвЂ“Chase and Bank of America have raised fees on simple services, like using your debit card. When power is concentrated in few hands, they get together and conspire to keep competition at bay. Yet the downside, as Adam Smith foretold years ago, is predictable. The US Government likes big banks because they are easier to monitor than small neighborhood banks. President Obama couldnвЂ™t get the banks to meet for a cappuccino at Starbucks. While my heart goes out to these kids living in parks, as winter sets in, but rallies like вЂњOccupy WallstreetвЂќ have no effect. If change is to occur, it wonвЂ™t come from within. And a Congress that canвЂ™t stand being in the same room with itself is hardly prepared to get more aggressive with banks. If banks would start giving credit, American businesses would rebound tomorrow. I commit to defending the human rights of all people, starting in Idaho.Banks just canвЂ™t help themselves from behaving abominably.
