It is hard to understand how the banks of the world seem so ungrateful and even ignorant of what a great service countries around the world have done for them.

A year or so ago and the majority of them were on the verge of collapse and those that weren’t would most likely have gone bust when the others did. Without enormous government support all these people would be unemployed. There would be no finance industry as we know it. Everything would have gone completely pear shaped.

So, having been supported to such an enormous degree that nations around the world are now suffering huge a debt crises the banks seem to think everything is much the same as ever and they all want to pay themselves enormous bonuses for doing such an admirable job.

If they continue to think in this way I suspect they will have a rude awakening a few years down the road. Not that this will worry those paying themselves big fat bonuses now as they will be able to retire and ignore the problems they leave behind. This appears to be what happened with the ones who got the banks into so much financial trouble. They have moved on, taking their big fat pay checks with them to enjoy a life of luxury in their large secluded homes. Why would they care what happens now.

It seems that until there is some sort of legal redress for actions taken in the past this cycle of taking the money and running away will continue.

It would be nice to think that some of these dubious characters would one day have a knock on the door and a demand for a return of their bonuses and fat salaries but I suspect in this dog eat dog world that just ain’t gonna happen.
