What a great banner display. It is about time someone made a statement about this pathetic taxpayer funded BANK BAILOUT. This BAILOUT is like giving CRACK to a CRACK ADDICT. Kudos to Glendale Federal CU to standup and speak out. Bravo

I find the Charles Schwab ad interesting…my husband recently stopped in one of their local branches to find out how to go about starting a money market fund. They basically told him to come back with at least $25,000 to get started, but they prefer $100,000. We are only 30, so obviously that’s not an option for us at this point. What a way to completely destroy your message.
