Do you have confidence in the US banking system?

[Angela Shelley]

Poll question: Do you have confidence in the US banking system?

This is a mood poll, asking about your confidence level at this point in time.

Do you have confidence that the US banking system will work through the current problems, and that everything will be fine?

We need a good deal of re-regulation.

5. Their lust for complete deregulation caused the problems

but I'm reasonably confident they won't be allowed to fail completely.

Re regulation is essential now that we've all been reminded of why things got regulated in the first place.

Put the thieves and snake oil salesmen out of business and the rest of it will be fine.
