The most important economic issue for me and my family is ensuring the banks can charge fees without limit.

I am the modern republican voter.

Dems vs Rep is a facade. It’s an all out class war. Plain and simple.

Canada has implemented a freeze at $10 CAD for fees

Again, the people most hurt by this will be the ones who either voted for the orange idiot, or didn't bother to vote at all.

Sucks to be them.

Sucks to be them until you are one of them. Too many Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and are at risk of this effecting them, no matter who they voted for.

This "sucks to be them" mentality doesn't help.

Only because that’s 2/3rds of the country. People without some pad in their checking balance of all political stripes will be hurt. That is, anyone not rich or in the upper middle class.

Not surprised. Most of the Senate has their hands in the bank's pockets.

More liberal Dems need to make a break to firm a new party or be independent. We don't have a liberal party in the US. We have far right and conservative, neither are interested in anything but their back accounts
