In a move to help hard-working Americans get a little more breathing room, the current administration has announced plans to crack down on unfair and hidden “junk fees.” These fees, which are often tacked onto airline or concert tickets, can add up quickly and take away from an individual’s hard-earned money. The announcement was made in a press conference by the Secretary of Commerce, who stated that these fees have been taking advantage of consumers for too long. He also noted that the current administration will be working with airlines and other ticket vendors to ensure that these fees are clearly disclosed before any purchase is made. In addition to being transparent about these additional charges, the Secretary of Commerce also announced plans to investigate whether some of these fees are actually necessary or if they are simply being used as a way for companies to increase their profits without providing any additional value. He stated that if it is found that certain fees are not necessary or reasonable, then steps will be taken to eliminate them altogether. The Secretary of Commerce also mentioned that this effort is part of the current administration’s larger plan to protect consumers from unfair business practices and ensure they get the most out of their hard-earned money. He concluded his remarks by saying that he hopes this action will give Americans some much needed financial relief during this difficult time.
