Good Morning Friends,

today is Saturday January 9, 2010

Well, we got through the rather dull and slow week at work OK and now it is time for some entertainment again. And, that means of course dear friends, racing at the Meadowlands in New Jersey. So, if Karen or any other of the important people in my life should land in town you know where to get a hold of me. And, if you are stuck for a ride don't be afraid to call.

I was reading over on the Huffington Post that Ariana had a plan to fix these bankers. These guys are not going to stop you know and no amount of so-called regulation or a changing of the rules is going to change their behavior. They have grown big and powerful and they want it to stay that way. But, Ariana had an interesting idea. And, that is to get everybody to join Credit Unions, and I suppose, to otherwise remove their capital from the coffers of the big banks. I think that is a stellar idea actually and it might be the only way to diminish the power of this group. Remember, these are the guys who destroyed yours and my economy. And, if they are not held to account or stopped in their tracks they will do it again. Also, remember that the bankers have these politicians in their mitts and that is why they get away with what they do. The name of the game is to get the bankers working for the people and not themselves. We need banks that lend to people and we need them to act responsibly. It is important to understand that we have an economy here and that we are all part of it. If one guy upsets the apple cart in his favour then we all suffer.
