Yep, we bailed out the crooks and threw out the homebuyers.
Seems a bit backwards imo.
I'm telling you folks, GET YOUR MONEY OUT OF THE BANKS!
We'd thrive without them, they cannot survive without us.

Democrat, republican?? They are both criminals and both on the same side, THEIRS.
This is about a person inquiring of crony illegal activity.
It has nothing to do with right or left, this is right and wrong.

I am loving todays comments about banks, and the corruption involved.
They have been taking your money and making loans on it for centuries.
Thankfully, people are catching on...

Everywhere I go, people always say, "You HAVE to have a savings account!"
OR
"You MUST have a checking account to cash a check, or make a payment!"
We are far too consumed with "consumerism" to even notice.
Even having a job makes it difficult to go without a bank.
Their paychecks sometimes can't be cashed anywhere else.

It's beyond nefarious though, the nasty grip these banksters have upon the public.
Almost as if they have infiltrated every aspect of daily living, entitling them to our pockets.
You now can't make a sum of purchases without "their" bank card, or debit card.
Or checks, no cash.

Further and further down the road, if we don't stop these people...
We are headed for a world of trouble.


Hang 'em all for high treason.

Pocahontas seems to be on the "warpath" - get it, "warpath"...

Perhaps she is out to count some coup?

Seriously, this is all just political theater for the sake of the plebs. It will go nowhere, cost billions and achieve nothing.

Well, it might calm the natives a little...

If only it was that simple. Where do you put your money?

I'm with this bunch of crooks. www.bbc.co.uk...

If they had been prosecuted they most probably would be out of business. The knock on effect would of been a large chunk of the banking system would of been bought down. Many millions of people would of lost their savings. Because of this the US government decided to take a $2 billion fine and put on watch for 5 years.

This is all fine and good. And it's easy enough to find persuasive arguments that Warren was simply engaging in some unwarranted grandstanding.

But someone wake me when our representatives start questioning the very concept of banking being in the hands of crooks in the first place; when they're ready to take a hard look at the practice of turning something as important as a nation's financial security over to Central Bankers....

It is that simple though.
Buy a good safe and keep arms and a pack of dogs.
Beyond this, bury your money.
In a last case scenario if you run out of yardspace to hide your millions, go to a credit union.
The thing is, many people because of the current situation are living paycheck to paycheck or have just a few thousand in savings, this is easy to keep on hand and out of banks.
Many people pay fees to banks due to "errors", I don't pay fees and I know exactly how much cash I control.
I think the big fear is not having that little plastic card that tells people that they are a part of something big.
When I need plastic I go buy a disposable card and pay $5 bucks to the bank, Holding physical cash also keeps you aware of how much you are actually spending and what you have left.
I avoid electronic payment like the black herpies!
