Listen to David Brooks, a well-known conservative voice. Even he admits that Republicans are hell bent on obstruction.

I would much rather listen to reason that the one liners from the likes of Palin, Beck and Limbaugh.[/quote]

David Brooks a conservative? That’s like saying McCain is conservative. I read his columns regularly and he’s no conservative that I share any views with.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Brooks_%28journalist%29

Even wikipedia bears this out:

Brooks explains that the Republican Party must distance itself from the minimal-government conservative principles that had arisen during the Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan eras. He claims that these outdated concepts had served their purposes and should no longer be embraced by Republicans in order to win elections.

So, he’s pro big government?

Brooks has been a frequent admirer of President Barack Obama

Yeah, all my conservative friends are big fans of Barry…

He has also expressed strong support for gun control.

Need I say more?

Big banks also enjoy free insurance in that being too-big-to-fail, they know they can blackmail the government into bailing them out if worse comes to worse. Other business don’t enjoy such privileges.[/quote]

You mean like, for instance, GM?

Perhaps GM should be providing free compact cars to less well off people since they were bailed out by the government?

The problem is the obstructionist Republicans bent on blocking Obama, even when he adopts Republican ideas (such as health care reform).[/quote]

I’m getting really sick of Democrats trotting out this tired canard. Democrats have a majority in the House and Senate as well as their guy in the WH. They can pass ANY legislation that they want to pass without any Republican support.

Continuing to blame anything on the Republicans at this point just makes you look silly…

Yes. That’s why we need strong a strong consumer protection agency to prevent banks from charging those exorbitant fees, especially to the customers who are move vulnerable and can least afford it.

I think that a pain vanilla, no fee, bank account should be like universal lifeline telephone. Everyone should be able open up one. Credit card or debit transactions should be declined if funds are not available without any fee to the consumer.

Fees are the same as interest and should be disclosed as such.

*

That being said, I use a credit union in combination with Ally Bank and ING Direct for banking purposes.[/quote]

First you wanted free healthcare and now you want free banking? Seriously?

Next thing you’ll be asking for free clothing, a free car and free food.

You know what’s great about the free market? If you don’t like a bank’s fees you are free to MOVE YOUR MONEY SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!!!
