So, what issue is President Joe Biden tackling today now that the border crisis is solved? Last year, he promised to use his immense power to remove "junk fees" from concert tickets and encouraged the passage of the Junk Fee Prevention Act. Don't forget, this is the same guy who as a candidate promised to cure cancer, Alzheimer's, and diabetes during his term.
These junk fees are a big priority with the president, and just a couple of weeks ago he announced a new proposal that would drop bank overdraft fees to $3. That's Bidenomics and relief for working families.
On Monday, as his preferred border control bill was being shredded, Biden tweeted about getting rid of junk fees.
You ought to be able to fly with your child – and sit next to them – without paying an additional fee.

It's time all airlines offered fee free family seating.
Finally.
Even by normal election year vote-pandering standards this is pretty bad.

Just stop with the piddling fees already when *everything* costs double BECAUSE OF YOU.

Glad to see that President Biden is resigning to take a board position at Delta https://t.co/11S2ZLUATe

Glad he’s focusing on what really matters.

Always focusing on the right stuff. Shame

Biden, of course, doesn't have to worry. His son Hunter gets to fly on Marine One in "secret."
The REAL reason they do this is because of the 7.5% tax on domestic airline tickets. If it’s an “extra” not in the base cost or the ticket, the tax doesn’t get charged.

I’ve got an idea, why don’t you let airlines run their businesses and you run yours. Secure the border.

I can't find room for them because those seats are already taken by the migrants you're letting in.

Start an airline and show everyone how it's done, champ.

At least this is better than giving fat people a free extra seat.

Shouldn’t you be able to fly with your kid knowing that there are no unvetted illegal immigrants too?

Are you high?

I’ve never had to pay extra for our family to sit together.
— Ben Dempsey (@BenDempsey18) February 5, 2024
Book travel early, and call the airline for seat assignment. I’ve never had one say “no” or charge us extra.
Why not focus on actual problems instead of made up ones?
Tackling the most pressing issues of the day, I see.

Congratulations on your plan to increase the cost for all seat tickets so the airlines can offset the costs of some being free. Victory!

What? How is this a priority when folks are having trouble affording their groceries?
— MoSmith (@MoSmithHMC) February 5, 2024
This should be the official campaign slogan.

This reminds us of when the Biden administration bragged about saving us $0.16 on our Fourth of July cookout.
This is also the same guy who blamed the "Putin Price Hike" for sky-high gas prices and then told gas stations to stop gouging customers.
How about making groceries affordable again?
