Everyday Americans are about to be nickled and dimed to death, and no one seems to care.
Would you mind if AT&T over-charged you by $1.75 every month on your cell phone bill?
Or if your cable provider added an unidentified fee of $3.00 to every cable subscriber's bill without telling you?
How about if your employer started secretly deducting $5 bucks out of every Alabama fan's paycheck, just because your boss is an Auburn fan?
Or how about if your mortgage company or credit card issuer adds an extra day of interest to your debt every year?
Guess what? It doesn't matter if you mind or not, because the U.S. Supreme Court ruled today that your best weapon against corporate thievery like that - a class action - can be taken away from you in the fine print of every contract you sign, so long as it hides behind the skirt of an arbitration clause.

Nice to have you back, FTC!
The Federal Trade Commission announced yesterday it is distributing $3 million in refunds to consumers who purchased infrared saunas and nutrition supplements from Roex, Inc. based on false advertising claims about the benefits of using the products. Imagine that?! An FTC that actually gets money back for consumers who are the victims of bogus claims in an infomercial! This is a very good thing.
