"FDIC raises bank fees" by Associated Press | February 28, 2009
WASHINGTON - Facing a cascade of bank failures depleting the deposit insurance fund, federal regulators yesterday raised the fees paid by US financial institutions and levied a hefty emergency premium in a bid to collect $27 billion this year.... The industry's biggest trade group said the new insurance fees would place an extra burden on the nation's banks and thrifts.
Oh, I SEE! They can take BILLIONS of TAXPAYER MONEY but they will NOT INSURE TAXPAYER DEPOSITS; however, they WILL COVER AIG''s LOSSES!!!!
I guess INCREASED FEES and TAXES are ONLY GOOD for the SHIT-EATING RABBLE to we can throw taxpayer money at favored interests.
--more--"
These bankers, they just don't see it, do they? You can slap a tyranny down on us, government, but the people will be taking some heads as they go down.
This lot of lying looters is first on the list.
