It’s as if the Fed did two 0.25% rate increases over the last two months:



MMT 101: “all prices are a function of what the government allows their banks to lend against things”; so it’s as if the Fed has delegated authority to the member institutions to increase the short term risk free rate by 0.5%

So now of course the NPVs of the banks govt bond assets are falling and resulting in regulatory capital deficiency (C=A-L):



So you Art Degree lefties big “neoliberal conspiracy!” continues apace where these crafty geniuses lend munnie to monetarist moron inflationista asshole speculators to sell the bonds at lower prices to make a few pennies on interest in the quarter which reduces the value of  their regulatory required govt security assets by $10Bs and requires them to raise even more capital to dilute themselves even more…

Yes these crafty “neoliberals!” are really geniuses and getting over on us again everyday!  ?
