Where's the outrage people? And lastly, banks actually paid back their bailout with a +5% profit to the government. Where's the fairness in the outrage! Next time you use online banking or bill pay, just remember there's a cost to doing business. Ain't nothing free. And the Credit Unions are tax exempt, which is an outrage in itself. Who's paying for that status? You and me that's who.

Declining deposits equals declining capitalization ratio, and last I checked none of these bankrupt institutions (majority of the banking industry) can afford to lose a primary source of tier 1 capital. End ZIRP, restore interest paid on deposits,and maybe people will keep their money in your TBTF bank. Then again, returning to that business model would involve an honest day's work from that most privileged and pampered of all welfare classes, the bankster.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575396221761490577.post-19125251575781152752011-10-31T15:59:47.806-04:002011-10-31T15:59:47.806-04:00"Anonymous Anonymous said...

When the banks are run by the government you will have no choice but to pay what they dictate or don't bank at all and probably like obamacare there will be a penalty side if you don't use bank of obama and a waiver side if you are friends of obama.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8575396221761490577.post-31307299292258398672011-10-31T15:08:17.120-04:002011-10-31T15:08:17.120-04:00My gas station won't pump my gas, AND they cha...My gas station won't pump my gas, AND they charge me for air now!
