WSB 750 AM has a minute or two short from Clark Howard every morning. Today he was talking about ATM machines and how banks got greedy and put usage fees on the ATMs, some even if you are an account holder with that particular bank. A lot of people got angry and wanted to legislate against this, forcing the banks to allow ATM use for free. None of that sort of thing passed, which is right, it's no business of the government to tell a company how to sell it products. Anyway, Clark's point was that ATM usage has fallen significantly since usage fees got more popular, to the point where many banks are now removing the fees, even letting people with accounts at a different bak use their ATM. That's about the best example of the success of free market capitalism I have ever seen.
Go capitalist pigs!!! The more piggish you are, the better America does. Just remember, no matter how bad you might think the economy is doing (actually it's doing quite well, thank you), it's still by far the best in the world!
