Today in gloom - run on the banks - part 2
Mar 16 2023 07:58PM more by sherkahn
Tags: Current Events

Looks like the big banks are helping support the medium sized banks that are feeling the pressure.
Those of you who bought stock in those banks this past week made some bucks, as stocks rebounded from the drop.

Well the FDIC does not have enough Billions to bail them all out.

They will gladly take your Bail In's though.

full disclosure..

the only way we can ever get out of this is to produce more than we spend.
its that simple.

now we have been spending way too much during the past many years and ended up with a gloming national debt.

i think the only way out is to take the social security fund to pay off our debt.
yes its gonna hurt but i dont see any other available options, yes we can keep pulling the wool over our eyes and not see the problem, but it just keeps growing.

serious spending cuts would have to be enacted as well.

^ Basically your saying we need to outlaw Liberal policies, get rid of welfare, and make everyone work to survive instead of sitting on their ass.

Sort of get back to basic survival instincts

Let's see G.W.took the deficit to 2 trillion in 8 yrs Obama took it from 2 to 4 trillion in 8 yrs Rump took the deficit from 4 trillion to 8 trillion in 4 yrs. Rump contributions is 25% of the deficit as well as rolling back Frank-Dodd put in place after the mortgage melt down in 2008 but its Biden fault we have double digit inflation and another meltdown AND you want Rump back .

^^
we can learn a lot from Greece, when they went bankrupt.

they gave themselves huge salaries and long vacations.
lived way beyond means - on borrowed money.

its not that different than whats going on here in US currently.
many people live way above their means.


especially when we start talking about living wages and similar programs.
even min salaries can be sketchy if the levels are not - lets say "market realistic"

we do not need to completely erase the welfare state, it is possible to have a welfare state but it requires a serious "dialing in" and using social security fund would possible be a first step.

"This is the consequences of a Trump economy and roll back on safety features."

You'd think Gloomy would avoid posting about shit he doesn't understand.
Dodd-Frank is the problem, not the solution.
Everybody thought we could regulate risk out of the system with D/F's tiered rank system.
Fucking stupid

The Fed uses “risk-weighted capital” to judge a bank’s health, per D/F rules.
This completely ignores "duration risk", which is what got SVB.
It's got nothing to do with Trump changes and even Barney Frank said so.

The problem lies mostly with the Fed, where the fuck was their oversight when SVB was taking in short term deposits and loading up on unhedged long term "riskless" Treasuries???

Sure enough, SVB had stupid management but where were the regulators? The San Francisco Fed office is run by a woke idiot.

Try to remember, capitalism without risk is like religion without sin.
The original sin starts at the FED with 0% interest rates and shitty oversight.

Get in the game, Gloom Guy.

Why is there always an excuse for Trump when he fucks up and his Trumpsters try to blame it on someone else? The Trump administration has done so many illegal shit that we are seeing them affect the U.S. economy on a daily basis but his gas-lighted lemmings will make up bullshit excuses for the illegal shit he did! He has made his followers, especially the men act like they are VICTIMS!
He is A fucking crook and he has to be held accountable for his actions.

He rolled back many of President Obama's laws and regulations just for spite! No thought went into what he did other than the Obama's administration passed it to safeguard the U.S. economy and its citizens. Trump overturned all of the safety regulations for the railroad system and look what happened in East Palestine, OH and elsewhere!

Stop making fucking excuses for the most corrupt and inept President in the history of U.S.!
America cannot allow this crook to getaway with the multiple crimes he has committed. Just found out that he and his family received more than $300K worth of gifts from foreign governments including Chinese dictator Xi and Killer Saudi MB! What about the billions that Jared got from the Saudis while in office and they want to go after Hunter Biden only? His whole administration was crooked! They violated the Hatch Act everyday without any consequences.

Jimbo... Trump is without a doubt the most investigated and frequently targeted political figure with BS accusations in modern history.

And yet ***NOTHING*** has come of it.

Let me FIFY bro...

"He rolled back many of President Obama's laws and regulations which burdened taxpayers and stymied businesses!

It was a no brainer because Obama's administration passed it to burden the U.S. economy and its citizens. "


And all the facts show that actually *REDUCING* taxes and regulations actually increases business productivity and consumer disposal income.

Simple shit Liberals will NEVER understand.

Yes, he only favored corporations like his but placed heavy taxes on the middle class by giving corporations major tax cuts IN 2017! That is something SIMPLE that everyone understands! How can Musk and Bezo's companies pay no taxes and constantly cutting jobs when they think that they are making no money! They are fucking Billionaires that are spending money to go to the fuckn Moon or Mars! The Republicans still think Reagan's Trickle Down Theory is their best way to run the American economy. It does not work and it will NEVER work!! All you get is greedy corporations that don't want to pay people for a hard days work and they ship out jobs overseas to make more money! It is all BS.

Trump basically ran the government the way he would like for when he left office , he made sure the tax laws benefited him when his term ended. He did nothing for his base, mainly old middle class White people who wished they were back in the 1950's. He stole their money with baseless conspiracy theories and outright lies.

Now, he expects them to riot and protest if he is indicted because he is a crook and stole from them.
Capitalism only works for the rich, never for the middle class or the poor! The Republicans even want to cut Medicare and Social Security from hard working Americans, so that tells you that they only care for the corporations and not the American worker.

Stop drinking the Kool-Aid!

The banking situation is caused by democrat wokeness infiltrating the banking system..

But even more so it is all the stupid spending over the last few years caused by uniparty and Biden.

as well as all the stupid regulations and the bottleneck supply chain issues as well as curbing fuel

and oil production and throw in a war with Russia

And then the FED telling Banks to hold treasury bonds , while the FED started raising the interest rate at a rapid rate. Causing bond yields on long term bonds to crash.

add to that the high interest rates caused invesment capital to dry up in the tech sector and in the housing markets.

The banks who dealt in those investments crashed because they had all these long term bonds with low yields.

and had to sell them at a lost. to try to become liquid

that is what happened for the most part except with SIgnature bank which was rumored to be solvent and the FDIC seized them anyway and Credit Suisse which has been a basket case for a while

and one last thing

Sherkahn sucks!!!!!!

Everybody already agrees with that last part about Gloomy
No need to rub it in

And, look at the uber-moron go!
Jimbo, you devil you, so hot, so nasty

Even those of us who don't like Trump find it a bit difficult to blame everything on him
And, you just sound like a raving lunatic when you do.
He gets no pass from me but the banking shit has almost nothing to do with his dumb-ass

Can't say the same about your correlation with dumb ass posts

Jimbo, I get that you have no idea what risk-weighted tiers, bank impairment or duration risk mean.
Leaves me wondering if you ever got an education?
Get past 8th grade?
Read a book?

Or, is it just all about your "feewings".
Why does this guy live in your head 24/7?
Do you think that's healthy?

And why on earth on the middle of a banking collapse and with an over sight committee finding yet more financial transactions coming from CCP Energy companies and ending up in the hands of Biden.

Pivot, and deflect to Trump.

Come up with another outrageous accusation and get the Woke NY DA to haul his ass in to divert attention from ...

Oh let's see...

Biden's fucked up failed policies for Oil, the border, his Afghanistan withdrawal, the F'd up situation in Ukraine, inflation, train derailments and toxic spills, hackers fucking with air travel,

and don't forget the fact that his own party doesn't want him or Kamala ... fucking PERIOD

Oh don't forget that Biden came up with idea to crucify Jesus ,helped Hitler with the final solution, Stalin massacre of the Russian ppl and of course the crusades and the Spanish inquisition. I'm sure Biden must have had something to do with the black plague and the great depression too we just have to look harder. And its the dems that deflect. How was I not invited to your Kool aide party. Jim Jones must have loved and missed you at his farewell. Smh

Regardless of whether you like Trump or not, more misery to come for many.
This will be under Biden's watch but as many keep stating, he's not to blame.
If you're going to blame Trump for various problems, you certainly have to
place some blame on Biden for the current issues. What a bunch of hypocrites.
Rules for thee but not for me!
It's amazing that many keep calling Trump a crook and just ignore the shady
activities of the Clintons and the Bidens.
The Dems are doing a great job of messing thing up, so I hope a Dem
is elected POTUS and watch the USA go into the toilet.
But the Dems will keep telling us that it's not their fault. Someone else
is to blame. See the pattern?

Agree with Boogy.
If both sides would simply tell the truth and stop being lying pandering raving ranting lunatic fucks.
We might have a chance to make progress.
Or, you can be like jimbo and howl at the moon while everyone laughs at your dumb ass.

Have to agreed there is plenty of blame to go around on both sides as well as scandals aplenty. A My view all politicians are corrupt to some degree or another Rump took it to a whole other level.
Go ahead and say another dem libtard, I don't care, I'm an independent leaning republican from reason on until 2016 when the least qualified pos ever got into office. Now I'm watching what the republican party has turned into and I doubt I'll ever vote republican again.


Far as I'm concerned we never needed to make America great again we never stopped.

Frankly it's not puzzling to me why Rep pols leaned into Trump
Only thing EVERY pol cares about is getting into and staying in office
So, those pols are simply following the idiot voters that think Trump has the answers
I don't understand those people
But then I don't understand how anybody reasonably sane could vote for Biden either

It's a riddle wrapped in an enigma inside a mystery
