Alrighty, problem solved.
This is like cutting government spending by eliminating “waste fraud and abuse”, a perennial election time favorite that never makes any difference.
That should bring gas down to $2.00/ gal. /s
I thought one of the Courts just declared this agency unconstitutional?
Most of the junk fees I see added are tax related.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

I thought this was found by a court to be unconstitutional recently ?
Notice it’s
private business fees
and not federal fees they want gone.
So without these “junk fees”, businesses will provide the same service for less cost? I don’t think so.
Either they will just raise their regular prices back to match what they were charging with the “junk fees” included, or they will reduce services.
This could actually be a good thing, but I’ll believe it when I see it. Personally, I think the Dems are genetically incapable of lowering the price on anything.
Many of those 'fees' are in the terms of service.
Except for taxes charged by the gubment, or the fees wrapped into cellphone/internet bills, I don’t pay junk fees.
Babylon Bee????
Will that include taxes falsely labeled “fees”?
I have not had to pay ANY of the fees listed in months, if not years.
Every time I have to buy gas or groceries, or pay my utility bills for water, natural gas, and electricity, I HAVE to pay the inflated costs for everything.
Seems like he is pretty disconnected from what most of us are facing in our day-to-day lives.
Does Dementia Joe realize 90% of “Junk Fees” are Fed State and Local Gubmint taxes? I know the answer. So no need for the /s
Clueless. Let’s say a business wanted to raise prices without directly raising prices, maybe they introduce fees or other charges. If President Retard somehow was allowed to remove so-called junk fees, the businesses effected would like just raise their prices. A business isn’t going to look at their damaged P&L statement and say, “oh shucks, guess we’re not going to make loan payments or salary.”
How about this for the hair sniffer in chief: If you want to reduce the burdens on American citizens you might want to start with the tax code. Then the amount of spending, and the overall size of government.
Grassley Introduces Bill To Repeal The Telephone TaxJanuary 1, 2001
Sen. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Committee on Finance, today introduced a bill to repeal the telephone excise tax, which he called a century-old levy that affects anyone with a telephone, but serves no particular purpose.
"The telephone tax is as old as Teddy Roosevelt's Rough Riders and just as obsolete," Grassley said. "The tax hits every telephone owner, but it doesn't pay for any specific program. It pours $5 billion into the U.S. Treasury each year for no reason. It's time to hang up the telephone tax."
How about eliminating the illegal tax collected and spent by third parties for Obamaphones? The related welfare program is “off the books” and dodges the required Congresssional taxation and spending bills.
The Consumer Finance Protection Board is suppose to operate outside political influence. That is the reason it receives money directly from the Federal Reserve. Looks like as anyone could have predicted it is just another tool of the Beltway politicians.
Is he including the Federal taxes on telephone bills that STILL are collected to “provide rural telephone service” From the late 1940’s???
Biden on Wednesday announced look nothing up my sleeve.
