...Socialism and the banking system?

Even if they weren't nationally run, I would still not put my money with them.

They are the least customer service bank there could possibly be.

I find that the smaller banks are much better to their customers & you usually get better rates & services too.

Good luck.

You only have to worry if you have more than $250,000 in the bank.

Amounts below that are federally insured by the FDIC. You won't lose a dime.

Although republicans call that socialism.

I call that good government.

You ask where does the money for the FDIC come from? In most times, it's simply premimums paid by banks into the FDIC fund. Only when it's under great strain have additional appropriations money been given to FDIC to help cover losses. Normally, it's just each bank paying in.

Take any money you have and buy bullion metals (gold, silver, platinum).... Because if over the next 2-4 years, this country keeps getting run like is has been for the last 2 months, let alone the last 16 years, a milllion US dollars probably won't buy you a decent meal let alone a house.

No! All the banks will be run by the G20 committee in the very near future. So it will not help. Boy Blunder did that on his give away america tour.

Personally I think you should base your financial decisions on financial reasoning not political dogma especially since all banks are federally guaranteed to at least some degree.... but hey it's your money go put it one that's partly owned by China or some other foreign institution if you prefer... you won't find many that aren't to at least some degree.

Hmm, there is this new bank that is pure capitalist bank; it is called Give Away International. I have put my money there. They say it is very safe.

Dig a hole and save your money there
