Survey: 74 percent of Americans say bankers to blame for economic meltdown

A majority of Americans see bankers more as Mr. Potters than George Baileys. (You know, from It's A Wonderful Life.)

“Nearly three-quarters (74 percent) of people surveyed agree with this statement: ‘The greed and risky decisions of banks and financial companies led to the financial crisis and recession,’ according to research by Benenson Strategy Group,” as reported by the Chicago Sun-Times.

The survey was released Wednesday before the start of the American Bankers Association conference in Chicago this weekend.

Here’s my suggestion to help clean up their image: The Bankers Association should launch a social media campaign called The ForeClosure Challenge. Five of the most social media savvy bankers (probably an oxy-moron, I know) will suffer foreclosure and then share their experiences via Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, Facebook and the blog on TheForeClosureChallenge.com.

Just a thought.

Enjoy the music. (Theme song for the conference, maybe?)

Fashion is the ever before modifying principle of incorporating more recent and far better developments.

Analog display of the time is nearly universal in watches sold as jewelry or collectibles, and in these watches, the range of different styles of hands, numbers, and other aspects of the analog dial is very broad

A decade or two of ethical behaviour might be more useful.

Quite frankly, if I had to live with US financial regulations instead of Canadian ones, my credit cards would be in the shredder and my money in a sock under the mattress.
