(The Economic Collapse Blog)—What is the Fed not telling us? The numbers clearly indicate that big trouble is brewing in the banking system. I wish that I could specifically tell you which banks are in the most trouble, but at this stage we simply aren’t being told anything. They probably figure that the best approach is to try to keep everyone as calm as possible. But they won’t be able to keep a lid on what is going on indefinitely, and when word finally gets out people could start to panic.
In recent weeks, bank reserves have fallen to alarmingly low levels.
In fact, last week they fell to the lowest level that we have seen in more than four years…
US bank reserves have crashed to a four-year low, plunging to about $2.8 trillion, according to the latest Federal Reserve data, sending fresh warning signals across Wall Street and Washington. The steep decline marks the second straight week reserves have stayed below $3 trillion, a critical threshold analysts say could test the banking system’s liquidity strength.
By itself, this doesn’t necessarily signal that we are facing a major crisis.
But everyone agrees that what we are witnessing is certainly unusual.........

And Indistinctly recall posts having been deleted because of the three letter acronym you just used.
So we’re even.

My About page is exceptionally clear about my relationship with Judaism. You can not like it, and I’m okay with that too.
“People are waiting for the correction. Hence, all the cash on the sidelines in MMFs.”
They’ve missed out on a lot of money while waiting.
AABEST: “assclown”

OMG, OMG, OMG a liquidity crisis! wait ... what’s a liquidity crisis? ... i just looked out my window and everything looks fine ...
Once you come to grips with the fact that he is congenitally disposed to lying, smearing people, twisting the truth, using logical fallacies, etc... he becomes very easy to ignore.
If you post the truth and can defend it, he is actually useful because he will sometimes continue to re-post your posts that make him the most angry.
But if you tell the truth about Israel, he will definitely try to get you banned.
BTW...he even serves in the IDF.
Imagine an admitted operative of the CCP or Russian military or the IRG being allowed to post propaganda on FR. It wouldn’t be tolerated.
The Fed currently holds less than $2.1 trillion of MBS securities, less than a third of the $6.276 trillion of securities they currently hold.
It is a reasonable discussion to have, whether or not any dual citizen should be allowed to take office. As one poster noted, we could even outlaw dual citizenship entirely, and I think I’m in favor of that.
What’s not cool is lying about who is a dual citizen in order to make Jews look bad.
I won’t stand for it.
No one could know the total consequences of a Major Economic Crisis.
If the ability to pay interest on the debt happens then you have a total collapse of the financial system and in turn the possible collapse of the Federal Government.
Not mention that all EBT, etc. ceases along with all Medicare and Medicaid, SS, etc..
So in essence the end of both political parties and chaos all over the place.
The deals with Japan and South Korea are totally unrealistic and will not happen, neither country has the ability to invest a total of $1 Trillion together in the U.S..
Nor can South Korea pay $355 Billion in Tariff monies as their total GDP is only about $550 Billion to begin with.
Sure it can by printing more money, more debt and by extension more Inflation.
The market ended the day down around 226 points so this “Oh nooos the sky is falling” didn’t age well.
agreed and thank you
lol
I agree
Only the dow 30 was down ... S&p 500 and NASDAQ were up today ...
Social Security fund only has about $2.5 Billion in “special” treasury bills (and dropping every month....SS is in deficit spending)...a drop in the bucket compared to $38 Trillion in total debt. The Medicare trust fund has about $407 Billion in “Intergovernmental debt” in it. “Intergovernmental”, foreign countries & Savings Bond holders are the largest holders of USA debt:

Thanks for the info. I had no clue that Medicare had a trust fund with treasury ownership.
Yeah, instead of sitting on cash w/o any interest the Medicare fund is invested in “Treasury Special Securities/T-Bills”. Paying about 5%-7% last time I checked.
