- President Biden on Wednesday unveiled his administration’s new initiative to combat “junk fees” that unfairly prey on unwitting consumers.
- In a bid to give U.S. families more “breathing room,” the White House is calling on “all agencies to reduce or eliminate hidden fees, charges and add-ons for everything from banking services to cable and internet bills to airline and concert tickets.”
- The push comes less than two weeks from an election in which voters give Biden poor marks on key issues like the economy and inflation.
