"The big banks have actually figured out a way to make unemployed workers a profit center, one that only grows as things get worse."

Angela Martin, executive director of Economic Fairness Oregon, quoted by Janell Ross in Banks Extract Fees On Unemployment Benefits (via quotingthecrisis)

Just another way modern America kicks the poor in the teeth. The nickel-and-diming from the financial world (major types of insurance especially), and also from local and state governments, is incredible.
