Banks Make Money Off The Unemployed Too



While right-shifted Americans scream about the American taxpayer and mortgage bailout- their fathers and uncles are collecting fees from unemployed people's benefits.


Many states now issue debit cards instead of unemployment checks- and that's where the cash-cow comes in- according to this Associated Press story..

People tend to use those debit cards like any other plastic and that's where the fees accrue.

To avoid fees with an unemployment debit card- take your newly-issued card to that bank's teller window and cash it out.

We already bailed-out the banks once- why give part of your unemployment benefits to them too?
