Also, at the premium account level, Citigold customers can avoid monthly fees if they meet the balance requirements, which the bank has set at $50,000.

But not all Americans want to have that much cash lying around not generating returns.

Google Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG)

Google, Inc. (NASDAQ:GOOG) has a good working relationship with California Representative Anna Eschoo, with CEO Eric Schmidt having once described Eschoo as “almost the perfect example of a congressperson” who “understands what we need”.
