New U.S. budget makes it more expensive to go broke

Under President Trump's proposed federal budget, it will cost more for Americans to go broke:

The proposal calls on the Justice Department to more than double bankruptcy-filing fee collections, to $289 million next year from around $140 million last year, "to ensure that those that use the bankruptcy court system pay for its oversight."

That's not the only example of pay-as-you-go thinking.

It's also going to cost more to be protected by Transportation Security Administration pat-downs: The Budget proposes to raise the Passenger Security Fee from $5.50 to $6.50 "to recover 75 percent of the cost of TSA aviation security operations." Those fees are typically included in every airline ticket.
