Home About Us Primers Contact Us ... Search Hidden Fee Replace Price Hikes Print-friendly Page by Emily Thornton with Michael Arndt First published in Business Week , September 29, 2003 Companies can't raise prices, so they're socking consumers with hundreds of hidden chargesand that's creating stealth inflation and fueling a popular backlash America used to be the land of the free. Now, it's the land of the fee. Companies, hard-pressed for money, are taking every possible opportunity to nickel-and-dime people to death. Need a monthly brokerage account statement mailed to you? Ameritrade (AMTD ) may charge you $2 per statement. Want your hotel room cleaned? The Alexander Hotel in Miami Beach, Fla., will bill you an extra $2.50 daily for housekeeping. Have to return a new camcorder? Best Buy (BBY ) Co. will dock you 15% as a "restocking fee." Want to buy a season ticket for pro football? The New York Jets will make you pay $50 for the privilege of getting on their waiting list. The U.S. economy has become sneaky. Inflation is officially low, but Americans face an ever-growing mountain of extra charges that are pushing up the true cost of purchases. No area is safe, from retail to finance to travel to sports. "You have companies charging fees for things that were free on an unprecedented scale," says Claes G. Fornell, marketing professor at the University of Michigan Business School.

THE PRESIDENT'S CABINET Imagine taking on a job that had an overwhelming amount of responsibility. An example of such a job would be that of the President of the United States. George Washington, our first president, decided to add four positions to our government that were specifically designed to advise him. So the tradition of the Cabinet dates back to the beginnings of the Presidency itself. Look to see how many cabinet positions there are today and find which department (below) you will be letting your fellow classmates know about. Be sure to include in your web poster: *The current head of the department. *The overall purpose of the department. *When was the position created? *At least three examples of what the department can do or has done.

Feedback FHA-Backed Loans The Next Subprime Crisis Looms By Chad Terhune and Robert Berner The same people whose reckless practices triggered the global financial crisis are onto a similar scheme that could cost taxpayers tons more. As if they haven't done enough damage. Thousands of subprime mortgage lenders and brokers many of them the very sorts of firms that helped create the current financial crisis are going strong. Their new strategy: taking advantage of a long-standing federal program designed to encourage homeownership by insuring mortgages for buyers of modest means. You read that correctly. Some of the same people who propelled us toward the housing market calamity are now seeking to profit by exploiting billions in federally insured mortgages. Washington, meanwhile, has vastly expanded the availability of such taxpayer-backed loans as part of the emergency campaign to rescue the country's swooning economy. AFP Foreclosures have spiked in the wake of the subprime crisis, leading to a number of businesses, like this one in Rio Vista, CA, having to close.

RSS Mobile Newsletter Sunday, November 14, 2010 International NACHRICHTEN Front Page World ... Feedback USA How Banks Are Worsening the Foreclosure Crisis By Brian Grow, Keith Epstein and Robert Berner The banking industry is undermining efforts to keep people in their houses. And nearly 6 million foreclosures are expected in the next four years. The bad mortgages that got the current financial crisis started have produced a terrifying wave of home foreclosures. Unless the foreclosure surge eases, even the most extravagant federal stimulus spending won't spur an economic recovery. REUTERS There have been 1 million home foreclosures in the US since 2006 and an additional 5.9 million are expected in the next four years. The Obama Administration is expected within the next few weeks to announce an initiative of $50 billion or more to help strapped homeowners. But with 1 million residences having fallen into foreclosure since 2006, and an additional 5.9 million expected over the next four years, the Obama plan whatever its details can't possibly do the job by itself. Lenders and investors will have to acknowledge huge losses and figure out how to keep recession-wracked borrowers making at least some monthly payments. So far the industry hasn't shown that kind of foresight. One reason foreclosures are so rampant is that banks and their advocates in Washington have delayed, diluted, and obstructed attempts to address the problem. Industry lobbyists are still at it today, working overtime to whittle down legislation backed by President Obama that would give bankruptcy courts the authority to shrink mortgage debt. Lobbyists say they will fight to restrict the types of loans the bankruptcy proposal covers and new powers granted to judges.
