Sen. Durbin Defends Reform Despite New Bank Fees
By editor
This past week, Bank of America announced plans to charge most of its debit card users $5 a month if they use the card to make purchases.

Dick Durbin of Illinois introduced those changes to last year's Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation. Durbin joins host Audie Cornish to explain why he thinks the legislation is important.
