Serving up a loaded word to spin the public.

Summary

This campaign season, “bailout” is a dirty — and often misused — word.

News That Matters – Wednesday, June 30, 2010

I wish there was a way I could genuinely let you know just how appreciated your support has been. It has gotten me through some rough times but more importantly, has provided the other 965 people, those who do not support us but who read every issue, with a reliable source of free information regarding Putnam County, New York.

The Thirty-Eight Billion Dollar Fee

“Sorry you got screwed but we cannot and will not ever return your overdraft fees and we’re truly sorry but hell will freeze over and the Pope will convert to Judaism before we admit we ever did anything so cruel as to intentionally mislead you.

News That Matters – Monday, June 14, 2010 – Flag Day

Both Bank of America and Chase are the two worst offenders of these unethical practices and my advice is the following: unless a genuine Democracy arises from the ashes of this current system and the banking industry is regulated as they should be, pull your money from Bank of America and/or Chase and find someone else, someone who doesn’t work behind the scenes to find craftier ways of immorally and unethically separating you from your money. . . . → Read More: News That Matters – Monday, June 14, 2010 – Flag Day
