Of course Biddeford Savings Bank can weather the storm. They are the least diversified bank in Maine which says quite a bit. They did however get one thing correct they only make loans to people with perfect credit and a chunk of liquid funds in a BSB account.

40%. Why, the nerve of any business making that kind of profit! Call the Congress and look into this travesty!. Take the 'excessive profits' and share them with the poor who have no bank account. Why those big bad executives must be driving big bad SUV's and making giant dirty carbon footprints all over the front yards of the poor who forgot they might have to make mortgage payments on their sub-primes. How much more profit is that than Exxon-Mobile?report abuseYou must be a registered user of MaineToday.com to post a comment. Register or log in.
