Wish I could reply, but I am at a loss for how the thread title applies to the article linked.  I'm sure you casting blame or hate upon someone here, I just cannot figure out whom.

I think the issue is with the whole 'Secrecy' surrounding whether or not your bank might be in trouble.

I could go into why its responsible to do so, mob rule and all that, however...

Lets just allow the people with more than $100,000 deposited in a bank complain about it.  Otherwise is means exactly jack.


Jeesh, this is the first time I've ever seen the liberal leaning folk worried about the rich mans money.  Usually such folks rejoice at the losses the 'rich' endure.

One of our truck drivers just sold a house and has 150k in the bank. He's not rich, but he is definitely exposed.

As the right leaning folks like to point out, 100 large isn't really all that much money.

I'm erasing my diatribe - seems the wingnut comment got under my skin.

Care to make an argument and I'll discuss, but I've lost patience for such nonsense.

Didn't think your diatribe was all that off target, until you made a point about 'The Liberal Leaning Folk And The Rich Mans Money'.


Still, I've edited my response to spare anybody's sensibilities. However, I will not edit your quoted diatribe which I thought was interesting.

As a self-proclaimed libertarian, why would you take offense to the use of the term "wingnut"?
