Dick Durbin's version of "Did I do THATTTT?"

Holding up a plastic debit card on the Senate floor this afternoon, Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., had some advice for Bank of America customers angry about the new $5 monthly fee: leave.

“Bank of America customers, vote with your feet, get the heck out of that bank,” Durbin said on the Senate floor. “Find yourself a bank or credit union that won’t gouge you for $5 a month and still will give you a debit card that you can use every single day. What Bank of America has done is an outrage.”

While I don't disagree with the sentiment, if people don't like the fees leave BOA, Durbin failed to mention his amendment to the Dodd / Frank bill caused these fees. His amendment gave big corps a windfall of cash and left the people to hold the bag. Thanks DICK.
