The financial conglomerates, despite receiving trillions of dollars of taxpayer money have not changed their ways. In fact very little has changed. The toxic assets that caused this economic crisis are still on the books of many financial conglomerates. The amount of money we spent bailing out the financial sector - estimated $12 trillion is more than enough to pay for much needed health care reform in the U.S. But no, Washington is too scared and unwilling to take on the financial conglomerates so we may end up wasting billions of dollars on the bailouts. It is time WE make a statement and we can do that by joining a credit union.

Credit unions provide many of the banking services that larger banks do at a LOWER COST and better service. They can do this because credit unions are NOT FOR PROFIT entities. They operate to provide services to their members - the depositors.

Credit unions are a much better value than larger banks - check it out for yourself - compare the various bank fees and loan rates.

Here is a link to a directory of local credit unions: LINK

But make sure you shop and compare because not all credit unions are a like - some are managed much better than others. Ask questions of customer service representatives at local credit unions to find out more about it.
