Free Market System Outrages NBC's Robach NEWSBUSTERS By Mark Finkelstein on Video
Somebody arrest the CEO of Bank of America. The knave is forcing poor Amy Robach to use his bank's ATM machines. At least, so it would seem from Amy's statement on this morning's "Today."
The NBC show ran a segment this morning about the fact that BoA has raised its ATM fees for non-customers to $3. When things were kicked back to co-anchor Robach in the studio, she unloaded.
AMY ROBACH: It is an outrage! Three dollars, to take out twenty or forty bucks?
Co-anchor Lester Holt sympathized.
LESTER HOLT: And I get it, it's for non-customers. But for example, here in New York I use my home bank ATMs, but you travel, and you go to some place, and you have to use another bank. Three dollars seems a little excessive to get your money.
Great points, Amy and Lester. An outrage! Excessive! Why doesn't Hillary propose some kind of government commission to determine what a fair price would be?
But why stop with ATM fees? Amy, on next week's show, why not categorize all your expenses from the past year? If a $3 ATM fee is an outrage, why, $299 for a pair of shoes sounds like nothing short of a felony to me! |
