Ever since major money houses began collapsing in the fall of 2008 and the credit crisis and recession started galloping worldwide, the words "depression" and “recession” have repeatedly crept into dialogue and news stories. Although Lankota Group is willing to admit that while there is a serious economic crisis, we believe that much of what the public is reacting to is a fear factor.

As Lankota Group is considered a small business in comparison to the AIG’s, GM’s, & Citi Banks, it is our opinion the government interventions along the lines of the stimulus packages and bailouts are a farce and a slap in the face of what our American forefathers built this country on. To some degree, the economic crisis is a correction in a society that is out of control with immediate gratification and the inability to distinguish between a necessity and a luxury. However, in business, the economic problems exist because of lousy management practices, including the justification of outrageous salaries and bonuses to management, the fudging of numbers to satisfy the stock holders, not necessarily prove a profit, and just plain greed.

At Lankota Group, we have truly been blessed with a successful business. We view this business as our mission field to the employees, the community, our vendors, our customers. We seek wisdom, not from CBS or CNN, but from the Bible and businessmen of integrity. We give thanks for the opportunities and blessings that have been shown us. It is our hope to provide a legacy for our family for generations to come, as well as provide stability to our employees and provide a positive influence in our community.
