We thought we could party like it was 1929. Now we get to relive the thirties. At least we may get some good musicals. But seriously, this collapse was inevitable. Deregulate everything and let the foxes run the hen house. Reaganism has ruined us.

Do not forget, with giving all of this advice about checking up on FDIC limits, that the vast majority of banks in this country - and specifically the smaller, community banks - are more than sound! Do not do what Sen Schumer did and cause a run on more banks with too much fear-mongering about bank failures because there is not a valid reason for it. It is another reason to keep your money with a local institution which does not always have the best rates, but does have sound practices which are consistent with protecting bank customers' money! Community banks remain sound and will continue to be so!

Here in PA our bank just sent out an informational flyer in our monthly statement saying that deposits will be held for yet a longer period of time before being eliglible for withdrawal from accounts yet when paying bills with electronic fund tranfers aka e-checks deductions are immediate!
I agree 1929 and the thirties all over again. The truth is out there about this nations economic state and everyone better be paying attention.

Fear is on the move. As Americans are hearing reports that turn out to be wrong and surprise failures of banks without notice. NO one is safe and we can't trust the word of our Government Leaders. As the chosen friends of the White House and the Law Makers stuff their pockets with our money we hear the President say everything is fine. The price of barrels of oil go down yet the price of gas continues to go up with yet another lie being told. Millions of Americans losing their homes because of Government fraud while our Government continues to blame anyone but themselves. Our President said the current problems of the US Economy, Military and everything else was caused by the Democrats. One would think Bush just get in office yesterday as if the American people will believe this lie.

Iran has been called the enemy for 7 years while the Bush Administration and Halliburton have been doing business with Iran for 7 years. No wonder the Media is looked at as giving false reports as the White House has been lying to the Media too.

Our money and investments are in a Credit Union, insured under NCUA. Are they just as safe as FDIC insured funds??

I work in a Credit Union and can say that most of peoples money is safe, especially after the FDIC and NCUA issued a new insurance amount from 100,000 to 250,000. And in answer about whether money is safe in a credit union, its yes!! :)
