They have got it wrong. You work for six and relax an the seventh.<br /><br />And what about the trade publications. Have you read their interviews with Congressmen or the NCUA Board? What ever happened to pursuing the issue with tough questions? All they ever do is throw powder puffs.<br /><br />The GAC is around the corners. CUNA will ope the conference by singing "How Great We Are". That will be followed by the NCUA Chairman taking credit for everything good in the world and telling those gathered she is the best thing since sliced bread. The Vice Chairman will do his best to entertain ala Jay Leno. Then the Professor will will try to bring the audience back to reality by telling them things need to change. Following him will be one Congress person after another telling the credit unions that they love them, that they are the best financial institutions and they are behind them 1000%. You doubt that? Just watch.<br /><br />As an aside, you mention you are not ready to head up to the mountains. I suggest you pull out your back pack as the time is near.<br /><br />As to the tea, everyone knows you have been on that for awhile as you have been living in the woods for years,<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
