Benjamin Franklin said there are only two things certain in life: death and taxes. But I’d like to add a third: cronies coming back for more after Washington gives them a handout. Case in point, the merchants and retailers who got a juicy morsel from Dodd-Frank are now clamoring for more. Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., slipped into the monstrous 2010 Dodd-Frank financial regulation bill a favor long sought by big-box retailers, such as Wal-Mart. The Durbin amendment, as it is known, imposed price controls on interchange fees for debit cards. Interchange fees are what banks and card issuers charge retailers for processing payments. Many consumers prefer to use cards instead of cash, so it’s advantageous for retailers to provide that as an option.
