Maybe you saw the story about American Express being granted authority to become a bank. This enables them to get aid from the big bank bailout. The question I have is, how can I become a bank? After all, the reduction in value of my 401K prevents me from taking or making loans.....

Ha. I want to become a bank, too. That way, when my son's a teenager, I can tell him "The Bank of Mom is CLOSED!" and I'll really mean it.
