Cenk leaves out the part how a person's savings deposits are used by big banks for derivatives gambling, and when the money's lost, the bank will tell customers they don't have it, go talk to the govt. who provides the insurance, under the FDIC established by FDR. Then you have to go to the govt. who may not have the money, or make you file a claim which can take a LOT of time. Better have some emergency reserve $ held back. Anything else in a local credit union maybe, or a smaller bank although they can be swept up in a crash. Nasty, dangerous system that's crashed before like here in 1929 and in Greece recently and Argentina.

(1,370 posts)Dick Durbin was talking about congress when he said, "they own the place". But let's be honest here, he might as well have been talking about the White House.
Want a snapshot of today's Democratic party? We're to the point of having a Dem. President lobbying congress on the behalf of "too big to fail" banks being allowed to make risky investments using taxpayer-backed money! Especially after we had to bail them out because they almost collapsed the economy a few years ago.
