A shadowy special interest group is trying to turn consumer anger at big banks into anger against new federal regulations intended to protect us from another financial crisis.
The ad claims that the “Big Bank Bailout Bill&#8221; amounts to a &#8220;new $4 trillion bailout for banks.&#8221;
Of course the Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s a good move for younger savers who are a long way from retirement and might well expect to be making more in retirement than they are in their late &#8217;20s or early 30s.

If you haven&#8217;t been laid off by now, you probably won&#8217;t be. So you can risk tying-up more money in long-term savings.
