A Lasting Smile.... a Blast From The Past !!!

5th ANNIVERSARY EDITION !!!!

"Wiig'ed out?"
"In many ways, trust is a credit union's most valuable asset. This was really brought home to me in the fall of 2009 when I got a call from Suze Orman.  She said she wanted to learn more about credit unions - and she invited me to lunch. Suze asked about how credit unions work, and about the advantages they offer consumers. And she became one of the the most important friends credit unions could hope for...."


"Suze has lent her image - and her reputation - to NCUA's public education campaign...."



"Suze's confidence in credit unions speaks volumes.  It means she trusts credit unions with her personal brand."


- The NCUA Chair Keynote 
at the GAC - Feb. 2011


   "... she trusts credit unions with her personal brand."  
"... lent her image - and her reputation - to NCUA's ...." 


   Well, let's just hope that credit unions...



     
( since we've "united our brands" ) 


....  can get Kristen Wiig to parody all of us just as unmercifully... 

... perhaps over lunch someday, hey girl friend!

NCUA has stumbled some many times in the past 5 years I forgot about the Orman mess. Listening to Orman tell debtors to walk away from legal obligations made the entire industry look foolish thanks to NCUA's collaboration.

Today's interest rate levels cause wonder why NCUA has an economist, and not just because he keeps forecasting higher rates. The only reason NCUA needs an economist is if it wants to be a management consultant to CUs. Only in a perfect world will NCUA return to being a regulator.

Did she pay for lunch with the $1.4 million she got from NCUA?

That's a pretty expensive "free lunch"... even in Alexandria !!

NCUA may have given Orman $1.4 MM, but it came from assessed and stressed credit unions.

NCUA thinks it's their money and they act like it is .

Piss poor financial stewards as the corporates so clearly proved.

And grossly overpaid to do a p-poor job.

Don't get me started.
