The U.S. government is officially switching gears. In news that almost all the papers banner across the front page, the Treasury Department will be announcing that the U.S. government plans to invest up to $250 billion in the nation's banks in a move that will effectively translate into a partial nationalization of the Financial Institutions that take federal money. In addition, the government would provide insurance on all deposits in non-interest-bearing accounts and insure certain types of bank debt. The New York Times calls it the Treasury Department's "boldest move yet" to deal with the Financial crisis. The Wall Street Journal does the best job of summarizing that the move "intertwines the banking sector with the federal government for years to come and gives taxpayers a direct stake in the future of American finance, including any possible losses." USA Today points out that Europe's moves to prop up banks across the pond, "set the pattern for the U.S. plan" because if the Bush administration failed to act "in a similar fashion, investors might have moved money abroad to seek safety."

BY DERRICK PERKINS Founded in 1922, Salem Cooperative Bank has weathered its fair share of economic downturns, and despite the ongoing Wall Street crisis, local bankers and Financial advisers look to ride the storm out. “It has not been directly affecting us as much as it might be affecting other Institutions,” said Ann Lally, president of Salem Co-operative Bank. “We’re a local community bank with our roots in the local community. We’ve always been conservative and tried not to place our customers in positions where it would make it impossible for them to pay back their loans.” Salem Co-op did not offer the subprime mortgage loans blamed for sparking the current crisis when the securities based on the debts plummeted as mortgage holders defaulted on their payments, according to Lally. The bank had also not used some of the predatory loan practices employed by other Financial and credit Institutions in the lead up to the crisis. “We have very few delinquencies. We try to establish relationships with our customers,” Lally said. “We continue to offer all of the services as in the past because of the standards we’ve used in underwriting in the past. We’ve made little adjustments and we still have funds for lending. We still have a very healthy loan portfolio.” Lally pointed to the bank’s strong reserves, built up over time, as an advantage for their customers as the economy continues to remain in a downturn. Considered a mutual savi ...
