Based upon what I've seen so far, this is the program that is being set up by the government:
Free, Government-Provided Checking Accounts
- No fee to set up
- No monthly fee to maintain
- No fees to withdraw money from any source (in-network ATM, out-of-network ATM, out-of-network bank, etc.)
- No overdraft fees
- No fees charged by retailers for bad checks
- No criminal/civil penalties for writing of bad checks
Did I hit all the points?

The importance and practicality of government checking accounts was proven on the first page of this thread.
The rest of this thread has proven something else entirely: that the modern American conservative is both intellectually and morally bankrupt.

the root of the problem is overdraft fees. the solution doesn't have to be government accounts. it could just be the stopping of this disgusting level of usury

We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory will yet swell the chorus when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

Debt is today's slavery, and its non race specific.
The hardest part of doing nothing is knowing when your done.
