What exactly is the point of making them list the fees anyway? So you can shake your head at the ridiculous fees, ask them to waive them, and they say “No”?
Does it actually benefit anyone to have them all listed? Did it make them stop charging these fees?

When you see a headline that doesn't include any mention of Democrats or GOP, ask yourself, "Do this law/proposal/regulation hurt people?" By hurt, I mean that it hurts more people than it helps. Don't think I need to explain the rest.

Fee Consolidation Fee: $23
