The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.

Hopefully the feds won't try to manipulate the credit unions like they did/do the banks. If that happens, then it looks like the 'under the mattress bank' is our best shot!

The State's Division of Financial Institutions regulates state-chartered credit unions.
Federally-chartered credit unions are regulated by the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA), an agency
of the Federal Government.


Credit unions are subject to much of the same consumer regulations as other financial institutions. In some cases,
such as investments and mortgage business lending, credit unions must adhere to more strict regulations.

but credit unions are lead by their board and their investing is limited....unlike alot of the loosened banking regulations from the 80's


...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......

The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
