Have the banks and financial institution support the public as we did them.
We supported the banks in the financial crisis to keep them going. We bow need them to support the public directly with direct financial support and other measure of greater understanding to help us all make it through the current crisis. Its time they repaid us for bailing them out.
We spent billions bailing out the banks and even now in this unprecedented crisis the banks are not forthcoming with help unless forced by government. At this tome as all life is suspended banks should suspend interest and offer holidays for all to help everyone through with real world loans and credit cards etc. Our world is on hold and they are still able to add interest etc and make profit. Totally unfair and puts pressure on people at at time when they should be proactively supportive.
