Oh, if only all was that easy and in Biden’s hands. When compared to what some dark hands through bank regulations are doing to America (and to much of the world), both Donald Trump and Joe Biden are small fry.
Paul Volcker in his 2018 autography “Keeping at it” wrote: “The assets assigned the lowest risk, for which capital requirements were therefore low or nonexistent, were those that had the most political support: sovereign credits and home mortgages”. Volcker continued with “Ironically, losses on those two types of assets would fuel the global crisis in 2008 and a subsequent European crisis in 2011”. That compared to all other that has been said about and quoted from Paul Volcker, has been totally ignored, or outright censored.
But what does it really mean?
Lower bank capital requirements when lending to the government than when lending to citizens, de facto implies bureaucrats know better what to do with credit they’re not personally responsible for than e.g. entrepreneurs.
Lower bank capital requirements for banks when financing the central government than when financing local governments, de facto implies federal bureaucrats know much better what to do with credit than local bureaucrats.
Lower bank capital requirements for banks when financing residential mortgages, de facto implies that those buying a house are more important for the economy than, e.g. small businesses and entrepreneurs.
Lower bank capital requirements for banks when financing the “safer” present than when financing the “riskier” future, de facto implies placing
a reverse mortgage on the current economy and giving up on our grandchildren’s future.
Sir, I just ask, would America have even remotely become the great land it is, if that kind of risk adverse bank regulations had welcomed the immigrants when arriving at Ellis Island / Liberty Island… to the Home of the Brave?
Wolf also uses new-confirmed Treasury secretary, Janet Yellen, to endorse what he himself have argued so many times namely: “With interest rates at historic lows, the smartest thing we can do is act big” Again, where would those historic low rated be without the Fed’s QEs and without the regulatory favors mentioned? Really? Historic lows or
historical communist subsidies?
