While we Americans struggle with the recession, unemployment and house foreclosures, the banks are getting rich. They mainly do it by squeezing customers for fees and then adding more fees. You pay the fee and then move on, not stopping to realize that this kind of thing really adds up. Here is a clip from a story in Business Week, with a link below:

As banks pushed a shift from paper checks to debit cards over the past decade, they began enrolling customers automatically in overdraft protection plans, with charges of as much as $35 for each overdrawn transaction. Banks say that lets the 185 million Americans with debit cards make emergency purchases even if their account is short. Consumers, though, soon discovered that a slice of pizza could cost almost $40 after overdraft fees. Last year the Federal Reserve barred banks from offering overdraft protection on debit-card transactions without prior consent from consumers.

One of the best, most lucid and well written American history books I have ever read. This is not merely history, it is the story of much of the creation of the American nation as it entered into a long, horrid conflict with the native peoples. Reading this, you will come to understand the battles between Indians and whites with more clarity than ever before. Personalities come alive and vivid writing carries you through. Out in quality paperback now.
