Probably too much paperwork for the broker for not enough return.

I tried to pay my electric bill over the phone today as usual. Now in order to do that I must register my banking information in an on-line database along with a username and password. I called to find out WTF?
The federal government demanded this change according to the lady at the utility company. I was flabbergasted.
Something is going on and it ain't good.

I despise the central socialist government, as many here may recall; however, I have been paying my utility bills, and HOA fees automatically from my checking account for decades.

Who wants stinking currency with water fowl on it anyway? Preferable to what Jugears proposes to put on our currency.

The Feds must not want any international incidents when they seize the accounts.

I can report that the headline chosen by ZeroHedge is false, or at least not supported by the letter they show. They appear to have fabricated the “you have 30 days to close your account” part.
But I guess it’s safe to assume that everything else ZeroHedge has published over the years is 100% true, never exaggerated. Because it’s on the internet, you know.

Your sending Constitutional Conservative Cruz back has what to do with this thread?
To: Calpublican
You could have just left the “Constitutional Conservative” out....particularly after he voted for Corker.
Just because he calls himself that doesn’t mean he is.

Meanwhile Western Union wire transfers billions each week to Mexico from Mexicans working in the United States.
Any Scott Trade account holders from Mexico around here?

Let me also amend my comment. Each week Western Union wire transfers billions in government cash assistance money to Mexico from illegal immigrants.
