Never Fear! Both Biden and Buttigieg Have Finger on Pulse of What's Concerning Americans: Airline Fees
http://twitchy.com/amy-curtis/2024/04/25/biden-airlines-junk-fees-n2395494
The economy is in a shambles. The border is a wide open floodgate. Baltimore is missing a critical bridge, and East Palestine, Ohio is still cleaning up from a massive train derailment. There's massive unrest on college campuses across the country. War in Ukraine and the Middle East.
Interest rates are higher than they have been in 20 years and inflation is running amok and destroying the purchasing power of American citizens.
But don't you worry, fellow Americans.
As you look at your checkbook and the rising cost of housing, utilities, and food, the Biden administration stands with you and understands your suffering.
That's why they're targeting the real issues that concern you: airline junk fees.
Yeah.
Priorities.
President Biden (@POTUS) ~ Too often, airlines drag their feet on refunds or rip folks off with junk fees.
It's time Americans got a better deal.
Today, my Administration is requiring that airlines provide automatic refunds to passengers when they're owed, and protect them from surprise fees.

Presidente Puddin' Pop and Secretary Rump Ranger are here to save the day!
We can't afford to travel, but at least the plane tickets we can't buy won't cost us as much, we guess.
Hollaria Briden, Esq. (@HollyBriden) ~ You always know exactly what the country needs. #healing
Exactly.
So much healing.
e-beth (@ebeth360) ~ Yes. We spend all our money on airplane tickets, not every day groceries. Glad you’re focusing on this and not food.
Remember how Obamacare was supposed to make healthcare more affordable?
We're 99% sure this rule is going to make air travel more expensive.
Let's not give them any ideas about messing with groceries. They're costly enough as it is.
Julie (@cincymom42) ~ OMG. Stop infantilizing American citizens. Just because people don’t read the fine print doesn’t mean the fees aren’t part of the deal.
Government: here to protect you from yourself.
We need to protect ourselves from them.
Veterans for Liberty (@Vets4AP) ~ We got hit with your junk fees on April 15th.
Dave Benner, Nemesis of Neocons (@dbenner83) ~ The airlines will respond by building these costs into the price of tickets for customers, including those who deliberately DON'T pay for additional services. This will end up screwing the average passenger and driving costs up for everyone.
Joshua Bryant IX (@2manyjoshes) ~ Mayor Pete can't even get the trains and plains to run on time.
Sassitude (@America1st16391) ~ The cost of airline tickets will be going up. Thanks Biden. You prove over and over that you are the master of inflation.
The Yootopian (@TheYootopian) ~ What about the junk taxes and government fees you make us pay? How much of every airline ticket is fees/taxes?
Not just airline tickets -- even your utility bill has government fees on it.
But that's different, somehow.
B-b-b-but JUNK FEES!
