Bureaucrats want to take away your debit card!. That’s right. Have you seen that advertisement? Banks are going to take away your debit card because they won’t be able to charge retailers 44 cents a transaction anymore. Since they can’t indirectly rip you off anymore, they’re going to stop offering you a debit card. At least, that’s what they’re threatening to do on subway cars and internet sites. And they’re sending lobbyists into every nook and cranny of Washington DC to try to gut the reforms passed last year. These people really should be rousted out of their homes by pitchfork-wielding mobs.
