Bankers are becoming more honest

Over the past twenty years the number of financial institution fraud cases prosecuted by our Justice Department has declined by more than half (56.5%). Even in these days of the Great Recession the number has declined (2.4% from last year). Of course, you suspected that, because our bankers have gotten religion. Very, very few of them actually consider robbing the public. In fact, some bankers have even been nominated for sainthood.

This conversion to a more honest way of life began under W and continues to improve under Barack. Look at these numbers from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse to see how much the improvement has been.
