Obama still has 12-18 months to make it so. You're not exactly being bold with the prediction.

It's just NASCAR...I waive all rights

I'm not ever again gunna believe anybody who's had a significant role in our financial industry. She's insecticide in Africa.

If your upset, it must be good for the common citizen. I'll take it.

Oh, I will, for sure, put my money on this lady when it comes to protecting consumers.

Not me. Feeling better, actually.

So far, anyone with knowledge about the financial sector has used it to fk his or her fellow citizens as much as possible. I wouldn't expect you to be any different. You may be, but I ain't trusting a thing you have to say. Lady doesn't look owned by anyone. I'll take her word over yours, and I'll take her word over Obama's.

Well, that was disturbing!


Seriously, tell us how you feel about this...




:eek:

Im going to go with "yes"... CPA will protect me far more than banks and corporations that are only concerned with profits for their shareholders.

You always know how to make a girl feel special, don't ya!

Well she is on record as saying practically all consumers are idiots, so I guess since you agree with her, you fit in that category.

Isn't it nice you have such a well decorated woman with a resume full of practical experience calling you an idiot.

You only make it more and more clear how lost you are on this...

...and Credit Unions? I assume, you along with the uninformed here believe we are out to make a profit from you too, correct?

The CPA is scary, and if you think they are going to help you, the individual you are wrong. All they will do is make for certain, you ,the consumer, will pay for all the bank's, credit union's, S&L's added expenses, hike in operating expense, and loss of income.

The funny thing is, every person on here crying about being pillaged by banks, there are other options. Credit Union's are not-for-profits, they are here to profit for you, not from you. Membership and capitol growth in the credit union industry is at an all time high. There are very, very good community banks out there, who do not try to nickel and dime, and take all they can from the consumer (there are also very bad community banks and failing banks, so you need to do your homework, imagine that the consumer actually needs to think about where to put his/her money and do some leg work).

The bottom line is, if you want to use the big boy banks, and you want to continue to get fee'd and raked on APR, thats your own decision. You have nobody but yourself to blame, there are always plenty of options. You should be the big boy and stand up and find the best place to take your business. Not cry about it, like an infant, and wait for Big Brother to come and try to fix it for you, because they can't.

Its funny, were you aware the FDIC already had a consumer protection division. I guess that part of the government agency failed you. So let's make it bigger and give it an open book to set up R&R, then maybe it can work. Oh wait, we did that with it already. This time, make it a stand alone arm of the government. That will work. What's the definition of insanity again?

Oh! To fill the employees for the bureau, let's take 1/3 from FDIC, a 1/3 from NCUA, and 1/3 from the SEC and OCC. If you had to give up a big number of your employees, who would you let go of? I'm curious...

Answering your own questions is a definition of insanity.

Am I right? Yes.

Oh hey what's 2 + 2, you stupid f.uck? 4.

ARyan, I understand that you feel that this will professionally impact you and you think that government oversight will make more problems for people but I want oversight and protection, I don't trust business to look out for me, the consumer. I was with a law enforcement credit union when I was a cop (I am currently with USAA) and understand that they are not for profit entities.

If this has you that upset, don't lecture people on a horse racing message board, take your fight to congress - i don't think anyone here has the power to change things, all we have is our own inflated opinions! :D

I am one of the few people here that do not trust big business or religion or TV talking head pundits to look out for my best interests... Although I'm not entirely sure I trust government but at this point they're my only hope :o

I am worried for consumers. This will only impact them in the long run. I can deal with more compliance, and more R&R, the sad part of it all, is it rarely helps the consumers in the long run, particularly when it comes to banks.

As for oversight, you have it. FDIC, NCUA, SEC among many others. If they are failing, then they need to be corrected, not the institution of another federal agency.

As for not trusting business to look out for you, thats basically the mission statement of many credit unions. We work for you best interest. We are not-for-profit institutions who are financial cooperatives, and if you are a member, you are an owner. Credit Union's profit for members not from them. Question for you, do you belong to a credit union?

I actually have, we get no response. Unfortunately our congress rep is too busy having Eddie Kelly tell us on TV Ad's how our rep saved New York horse racing and NYRA. He doesn't have time to talk to credit unions, even though his father was a big credit union guy in Missouri.
