The Bottom Line

Howard Headlee, President, Utah Bankers Association

"Many people today have become so invested in political narratives that the reality right in front of them can become blurred.  In some cases, the inability to focus on what is real is driven by innocent confusion.  In others, it is the result of a conscious intent to deceive.  Either way, when our policies are driven by narrative instead of reality, we inevitably experience pain.

Eventually, reality always prevails, and whatever distance we have put between ourselves and reality must be reconciled, at a cost."
