"No matter how........no matter what...........blahblahblah...............we keep moving forward....... because THIS is AMERICA."
 
Pinch WTF?!! What does that even MEAN?! That citizens get into so much debt that they're living out on the street, and then when banks go into debt, taxpayers foot the bill so that the banks can put American citizens into even MORE debt as they try to get out of their original debt?!! Angry
 
Why does that not conjure up the image of "moving forward"?? I picture people trying to climb out of a mud pit, and Bank of America comes along with.......a hose. Wacko

I've found myself recently saying "f**k you f**k you f**k you f**k you f**k you" repeatedly to Bank of America ads since it's been revealed that they f**ked with taxpayer money for a Superbowl partyAngry
One good thing about TV-you could always turn it off

Shouldn't have surprised anyone.

The last time I checked, banks receiving 'bail-out bucks' were not required to report how they used what they got - and then once asked, either refused, or couldn't. A couple of large banks were pointed out; do not remember which.
 
I know *our* bank has not requested, nor received a penny of those funds - even after Madoff - and I like that.

I wonder if BoA is one of the banks reported in the news that hires foreign workers and brings them here to work, instead of hiring the locals.  That should give your BoA branch that neighborhood feel:

"Hello, my name is Sanjaranjanirjadrankanippur.  How may I help you.  That will be $5, which I deduct immediately from your account.  Thank you, come again!"

Not only did the CEO of the bank B of A acquired (Merrill-Lynch), use 1.22 million of the 15 billion dollars in bailout money to furnish his office, he also used 4 billion of it to quickly sneak in last minute bonuses to various execs at the bank, saying that you have to reward "your best employees".
 
Aren't these the same "best employees" responsible for Merrill-Lynch going under?

Mr.T - basically, THEY ALL DO THAT, now...for some silly reason, corporations seem to believe that 'offshore' folks are as computer literate as our own (something I've long found a dangerous misperception). Another BIG problem is these 'offshore' support groups really do not have good understandings in regard to external customer support, much less little things like, well...U.S. banking regulations (believe it or not - they are supposed to exist)...
Anyway, if I was a BOFA customer, I'd pull ALL OF MY BUSINESS from them, in protest - but they've been a very f'd up organization for a very long time; I've not done ANY business with them in a LONG time.
