If people behaved like governments, you’d call the cops. ~Kelvin Throop
I guess I’m mad as hell that Uncle Sam is going around offering banks bailout money even though many banks are on sound financial footing. That’s what AP is reporting about United Financial Bancorp, parent company of United Bank with 15 branches in Western Massachusetts. Bank officials say they don’t need any help. Why wouldn’t the government KNOW which banks need help or are they just doling out money (taxpayer money) to any financial institution? Stuff like this bugs me. It sounds like the Katrina days, only worse. Maybe it’s more on-par with Uncle Sam dropping millions in cash over Baghdad. Gee, wonder who got that money? Sometimes this taxpayer feels like a chump.
