The Bottom Line

Howard Headlee, President, Utah Bankers Association

"Over the last few years, we’ve all heard various theories, some more elaborate than others, about certain events and actions that would contribute to the demise of the world as we know it. They are incubated on both sides of the political spectrum.  Most often, they are developed as a means to promote a certain political ideology rather than a serious effort to explain some actual phenomena or event. 

 The media refers to them as “conspiracy theories” and depending upon the philosophical alignment of one’s entertainment/news channel, some theories are promoted as truth and others are criticized and 'debunked' out of hand. "
