My friends Burt Orange is here to tell you like it is. The content is a product of free speech and will not be watered down to make a clueless few feel good.

Probably more than anything that creates passion about a subject, is the fact that it is mangled by the people involved. People, persons, you pick but the fact still remains that the subject has been marred, twisted, scorched till it's unrecognizable.

Oh by the way, Burt Orange, is a pen name and is in no way meant to mean a real Burt Orange if there happens to be one. So give Burt a break, it's the Patriotic thing to do.

What opinion is boiling today ?

FDIC a widely known acronym and most certainly on the forefront of a a few investors minds, stands for Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. They insure deposits for up to $100,000 and in the event of a bank failure, depositors can get their money in as little as two days and as long as years. $100,000 is insured so that amount over $100,000, well these days you just gave it to the bank in your neighbor's mortgage.

Who wins ? Well the banks that bought out the failed banks and have their assets to liquidate to cover the paltry $100,000. The real fiasco and corruption begins in that banks are allowed to merge and the Leprechaun's Pot'O'Gold grows ever larger. Crowley had already shown the way to embezzle from the FDIC and that information was kept from the American public till as recent as 1996.

Once again our government proves it's worthlessness in the protection of the citizens that voted them in office and have not learned from the past, as in the savings and loans crisis of the late 80's and early 90's. Now it looks as if they are on the path again as the FDIC gears up with an increase in staff to handle the impending bank failures that are reportedly on the close horizon.

Does getting elected mean that you sleep on your watch in these times ?

Sometimes we just have to reflect on what has happened over the past year. After all it is the past that we learn from and hindsight is 20/20.
