Ad Terras Per Aspera

First, I’d like to thank those in Congress who voted against the $700 billion bailout. You have saved not only the American economy but the entire world economy. I have sent these heroic Representatives emails thanking them for their actions in yesterday.

Congress is now talking about raising the FDIC rates to $250,000, up from the current $100,000 we have now. I support this action… in fact, $250,000 may be too low: it should be closer to $1 million because this limit also effects small businesses and personal accounts alike.

Putting money in a bank is not an investment, even if we get paid interest. Americans put money in a bank for safe keeping alone. We should not have to look at how a bank runs it’s business because all banks should be 120% safe.

Due to inflation, $100,000 is not what it used to be… $265,881 today has the same buying power as $100,000 in 1980 when the current insurance limit was enacted.

WaMu failed because business customers got wind of the impending doom, and removed $16 billion from their accounts to get under the $100,000 limit… that $16 billion was the nail in the coffin.

I just received my Bank of America Platinum Plus in the mail today, I’m pretty sure this is not what its supposed to look like. I’ve blanked out the embossed information (which was properly embossed).

As you can see, the card is completely blank. If you’ve never seen one, look at the online application for what its supposed to look like.

The back of the card is fine and has the mag stripe, all the art work, all the writing, the place you sign, and the rest of the stuff. Only the front is missing the art work.

This is why the Daily Show is the best fucking news team on television. Remember to vote third party this year, preferably Ron Paul.

No matter how fast I run, no matter how high I jump, no matter how many obstacles I smash through, my princess is always in another castle.
