Close your accoutns at banks that took TARP

[TheBreeze]

Excellent article by Sean Olender from the San Francisco Chronicle:

We can stop this by closing our accounts at any bank that took government money. A list is on the Treasury’s Web site. Close your accounts and move them. If we do, those banks will suffer receivership or bankruptcy within a few months, and then there will be no need for bailouts. Our healthy community banks will thrive, while billionaire bondholders will have to downsize their G-5 fleets and take a haircut.

HELL YEAH! If the government won’t listen to the people, then the people need to hit ’em where it hurts — right in the pocket book. I’d love to see that $774 billion in Citigroup deposits go to banks that acted responsibly and didn’t take TARP.

Here’s a list of the institutions that took TARP (it may take a bit to load):

EmigrantDirect and San Diego County Credit Union. I’m kind of surprised SDCCU is still around as I figured them for making all kinds of bad loans during the bubble.

I hope this isn’t the same bank.

I stopped using them as soon as interest rates crept below 2%.
