History...a prediction of the future?

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs."

by Thomas Jefferson in the letter to
The Secretary of the Treasury, Albert Gallatin (1802)

I can't make this stuff up! It seems that our forefathers always know best and have a way of describing what we experience today with the candor and articulateness of our past.

In an environment of declining trust in our financial sector, it is important that we take a step back and remember why we are really here...for our customers. Without them, there is no us. Or, as Jerry McGuire would say, "You complete me."

The lost trust will not easily be restored. But those of you who reach out to your communities now, communicating your stability and how support your customers, will be the winners in the long run.

I am feeling a little sentimental today so that's it for now. But I have a very interesting strategy to share with you next time...and let's just say we can all learn something from the technique. Email me or post a comment if the anticipation gets the best of you.

Be extraordinary today!
