correct. low or negative rates are actually a boon to the average consumer. to the bank's profit margins .. not so much.

Haha... your tongue-in-cheek reference to Bernie as an "elite economist" is a hoot! He couldn't even wade through the first 2 chapters of Das Kapital.

My sympathy does not reside with the big banks. I'm merely stating a fact known to anyone who monitors bank profitability trends. Sounds like you need to switch to a bank that offers free checking. There are plenty of them out there.

LL - Thank you sir - good idea.

Once in a while I manage a good satiric reference.
