Happy Holidays
The holidays are upon us, and unfortunately for many, this season can be very stressful. While some deal with the normal, last-minute gift shopping trauma, an increasing amount of Americans can no longer afford to buy gifts for their families and loved ones.
There are so many other things that people should be focusing on right now instead of layoffs, debt and foreclosure.Sure, news of the recession’s impact is becoming normal but, lest we forget, financial security shouldn’t be a problem for people who work hard and play by the rules.
These times are meant to be merry. The only ones in the news that appear merry are the big banks. Last week, despite tanking the American economy and turning a profit from it, they received nice Christmas bonuses. I was always under the impression that bonuses were given to reward good work.
So in the spirit of the season, we at Break Up the Big Banks bring you a nice video from our friends at Bankster. Enjoy, and please take a moment to spread it around.
Looking forward to 2010, A financial reform package already passed through the House, but it looks like it’s a work in progress. With some calls and demands, (sign our petition on the right) we can take action and help our representatives to right our listing economic ship of state.
Stay tuned for big actions coming – but for now, rest up, enjoy the holidays, and we’ll see you in 2010.
