Banks

Is it time to split the banks up? I mean to break them into Banks - those things we used to have where you put your money for safekeeping, earned some interest and could write checks etc. And the other part is the Casino's, Betting Shops, Gambling Dens that the banks seem to have become. If they want to do that, fine, but do it with peoples money who want to do that. Not with my money. Right now they take my money that I put there for safekeeping and use it to make bets on Hedge Funds, Stock Swap Options, Credit Default Swops, and other Market Manipulations. If they win, they keep the money and I get none of it. If they lose, I have to bail them out with my tax money. And the CEO and their hundreds of "Executives" all take bonuses in the tens of millions of dollars EACH.
No I just want a BANK - a place to keep my money, safe.
 Let the gamblers put THEIR money in the "Other Banks" that are not banks but Casinos and risk it, and lose it if they lose. I don't want to bail them out.
