Even members of Congress not safe from bank hassles

You'd think federal legislators wouldn't have to put up with this shit, but I guess nobody's safe.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-California) had to spend most of 2 hours on hold trying to get Bank of America to help a constituent. This included several disconnections and transfers to lines that did not work. The ordeal finally ended when she was confronted by a recording that told her to use the bank's website.

Waters said this exemplifies how average customers are treated.

Am I correct in my belief that Bank of America got quite a bit of bailout dough? If so, Congress needs to just take it all right back.

  1. You are correct. The U.S. government is now Bank of America's largest shareholder.
