On another note......last night DH was saying he heard on NPR that banking customers were transferring accounts to Credit Unions because of impending bank fees and their efforts to avoid it. I can't find anything about it on NPR website to validate this info, so I dunno. BUT if this is happening now, then the future of major banks will be even more shaky than ever before with the possibilities of eventually closing.....atleast I would think happening in a cause & effect :hu
I don't know if people are actually transferring funds, but BOTH of the credit unions near me have signs up encouraging that kind of move.

I cant believe alot of people are taking money out of regular banks and putting it in Credit Unions. In our town, most people are pulling their money out of the Credit Unions and putting it in regular banks. Well we only have one credit union here. And it was taken over by the feds.. Through the grape vine Ive heard it is because there is to many defaulted loans there..

Rome is having it's so called peaceful protest too. Looks like Londan is about to explode too. HMMMMaybe Obama should get another peace prize for all the peace he is promoting around the world.

100 U.S. Special Forces to Africa as armed advisors. HMMM smells like a Vietnam ploy.
