Banks and Credit Unions

[sumdumguy]

Can anyone tell me where banks are lending my
money and what foreign banks are indebted to
them and therefore me? Also who backs the
Credit Unions 100%? i never see anything in
writing or tangible fact.

Credit Unions are backed by the credit union deposit
guarantee corp. They have all paid a toll to generate
assets in the corp. name.

I don't think there are that many $ there.

I am not sure if the government or insurance backs
things beyond that.

If FCC has abandoned the principles of
productive value, then they should be kicked out
by the government, if we have a government.

FCC is a lender, whereas the banks and CU take
deposit.
I have an old neighbour who was very deep in
debt in the 80's. his motto was "don't worry about
the money you owe, let the guy/bank whom lent
you the money worry about it.
Same guy, just sold half his farm for millions.
Now, his concern is, if he banks it, how much is
he allowed to deposit that is covered by a deposit
security/insurance. So, he owed money all his
productive years and paid it down. Now , he is
more worried than ever, tax management issues,
and where to park his cash in order not to lose it.
My employee was looking to park his life savings
and , the CU' s seem to offer a lower rate but
guarantee the entire deposit. I have never seen
this document from any bank or CU. Then again,
I never had much cash on deposit to ever really
worry about and basically too ignorant to ask. It's
probably in the small print somewhere!

Don't keep cash...keep assets that work for you! Or maybe it's just an excuse why I don't have cash....;-)

I think as I recall that deposits are garanteed by the government up to 100,000 dollars per client per institution,by the Canadian Deposit Security Commission(name is something like that) The credit unions always claim that they are 100 percent guaranteed but I don't know for sure by who likely the government.
Somebody let me know the whole truth now I am intersted.

There is 100%guarantee with Credit Union Deposit Guarantee, a fund built up over many years. The 100% is based on the idea that all CU's won't fail at once. So if your local CU goes under, your deposits are guaranteed. But your local CU now is a small branch in big Cu, so I doubt the fund would work in a massive failure. It will work if you repaid all your loans to the Cu, then they have the money. But in a massive failure and run on deposits, where will you get another loan to pay off the CU?
I hope we never see it happen.
