YOU CAN BANK ON IT

by Bill Costley

According to JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon,
the recovery has stalled because of strict banking regulation. --Robert Reich

When bankers wail
workers should wonder
Q: What happens next?

A: When bankers wail
they communicate like
wild animals caught in

regulatory traps, crying:
“Regulate us less!” &.
“Keep the workers out
of our deep pockets!”
