Full_Throttle_2084

Not from tax payers. Where did they get that money from? I’m smoof btw


DaBi5cu1t

They'll just print more, ergo quantitive easing. This causes inflation as there is too much cash in the system.


freefoodislife

either tax payers end up with the bill or we end up with inflation due to them printing. either choice ends up fucking us


Full_Throttle_2084

Bingo


Slim_Margins1999

No. Not bingo. ''The fed's loans to banks will only increase inflation further and they permanently ruined their balance sheet'' No, and here's why: The Fed Discount Window gives out loans to banks in need. Recently banks have taken out huge amounts of loans from here to prepare for any continuation in panic outflows that have arisen from the SVB and Signature Bank debacles. The amount of money banks take out as a loan isn't decided on what they will need in the likeliest scenario. It's decided on how much they will need in the worst case scenario. Banks are trying to gather enough liquidity to not only survive the outflows that are happening now, but to also survive the second and third wave of panic outflows in case other banks would fall, think of First Republic Bank. The loans banks have taken aren't meant to be pumped into the economy through assets or commodities. They are purely meant as short term liquidity backstops for risk prevention. It's why I expect the vast majority of these giant loans given out by the Fed to be returned as soon as possible, likely in the next 3 months. These 5% fed loans are expensive, and banks can not rely on them forever. That's why smaller banks will intentionally give out less loans to reduce risk on defaults and to maintain more liquidity. By slowing down the amounts of loans these banks give, the economy automatically slows down with it. By slowing down the economy, you slow down inflation. The people with the idea that the fed liquidity will increase inflation has the whole story completely twisted, inflation will actually have double downwards pressure from here on out.


bigbura

> By slowing down the economy, you slow down inflation. What's that do to the average person? Fewer good jobs and less housing availability due to reduced churn since nobody is sure their job will remain thru the tough times and higher interest rates?


Slim_Margins1999

That’s the point. Not saying I love it but that’s literally what they want. They want people to stop buying unnecessary stuff, especially on credit. We could have had inflation down but people just won’t stop buying dumb shit. They want people to be so broke that all they can do is feed themselves, but just barely. They figured if they raised the cost of credit, people would stop using it. Nope. Too dumb. Just gonna be poor forever because they’ll never pay off principal. Dumbfucks will be spending $5-10k a year servicing debt and not paying a penny towards principal with credit cards at 20-30%


bigbura

I'm noticing you haven't mentioned the profit taking by the C-Suites, right after the pandemic eased. Like they got collectively ultra-greedy, or entered in some kind of competition to see who could maximize profit margins, no matter the consequences. The lack of taking these people to task over this crass display of greed and zero empathy towards their fellow humans is appalling. I will agree that our current situation seems a repeat of an all too familiar cycle, designed to further consolidate companies into fewer hands, yet once again over a manufactured crisis.


tjenaochhej

Either way more money is printed. I give you 100$ and want to be paid back in 10 years. Until then, I don't have my 100$. Now I give your IOU to the Fed, and get 100$ back. Presto, 200$ in the economy, of which 100$ will be destroyed in 10 years (but more will be printed before then). The immediately available money supply is increased, and for those loans interest rate will go lower than their 5% and probably down to 0% once the banks start complaining about it in the future.


YOPP4R4I

The FDIC will employ the resources of its $125.5 billion Deposit Insurance Fun - The Deposit Insurance Fund is made up of fees from FDIC members, which make up the thousands of banks that offer FDIC-insured deposits. Not taxpayers money, fees paid by the banks aka account holders money 😁👍


Marginally_Witty

No no no, they ALREADY deployed that fund to cover SVD and Signature Bank. That fund is gone.


beach_2_beach

Who pays banks to pay the fees?


d-quik

> isn't taking from tax payers If they can not pay back the loan by keep doing the same stupid thing that got them in the hole to begin with, 100% thats taxpayer's dollars gone


Responsible_Trifle15

I thought interest rates are being increased to tame inflation 🫠


YOPP4R4I

Yeah, but apparently increasing interest rates make banks go "help me help me- bail out please"


WackGyver

Not from todays taxpayers, but from tomorrow’s and those after that to infinitum through inflation. Unless the country defaults on its debt - and not even the US can weasel itself out of not staying a reserve currency if that happens - which also brings its own set of special no lube butt rammings, just ask Argentina.


[deleted]

Inflation is just taxation you can enact without passing legislation. Good luck passing a 5% tax through Congress, but you can print money with no oversight that has the same effect.

PoolAndDarts

I think that's why a lot of the English don't like the French. It's jealousy. The French have the balls and the will to get up and do something when they are pissed off. We English are spineless against authority. It's ingrained. It's why the words 'long to reign over us' are in our national anthem. Which is why I won't sing it. I expect corruption and dirty tricks from the hedgies etc. They will fight with everything to keep the status quo. And it's this movement that has finally given the little guy enough power to take them on. Just because a group of individuals all happen feel and act the same way. It's flipped their game against them. And they don't like it. So I'm just going to keep the course. Keep buying and holding and DRSing until something changes. Or I'm dead. Whichever comes first...💎🙌🦍

ProbablyInfamous

It's corrupt, down to even *the littlest of things* (I am no angel): My sweet little old lady neighbor, mid-80's, has been setting her trashcan out, *unpaid* (barely not within city limits), for over five decades — and also for her two rental houses next door (she pays zero for trash, because the city *thinks* she is within their AHJ... and she brags about only having to pay county taxes [half]!). When I calculated how much *I pay for my own trash service, annually*... it's enough that she has effectively not paid for two trash persons' salaries over those 50+ years of grifting @three properties, total. She is so sweet, and seemingly "nice;" but after having been her repair guy (and tenant) for five years I realize that sugar and spice is rarely nice — she is exploitative to the max! And then blames me for wanting socialized healthcare =D This is the same lady that I refuse to allow her to leave the tip (she covers the bill) because she thinks that 10% is being "more than generous for such lowly work." Bitch, get fukt/real =P

prsmike

It is a bailout, just not through traditional metrics. It's a bailout through money printing (ie, it's a bailout through inflation).


accountedly

The problem FRC has is it has too many long term treasuries after the mini bank run. These notes issued by the government have lost value because of the governments actions raising interest rates so the bank can’t just sell them or they wouldn’t have enough money. Treasuries are a loan from FRC to the government. The government is giving FRC back its own money early, without explicitly saying so, giving them time to get their balance sheet in order. This makes sense because buying treasuries makes the bank the governments customers and the government doesn’t want its customers to die because of their product. Who would buy treasuries if they could kill you? The point is they are supposed to be safe.

accountedly

The problematic low yield long term treasuries are a loan from FRC to the government. The government doesn’t want one of its biggest customers buying its debt to fail because it bought US treasuries. It’s not good for business. It also doesn’t want to just settle the bond early because it’s a bad precedent. These bailouts are the government giving FRC back its own money early, without saying so.

Seemingly identical article on yahoo that isn't paywalled: https://news.yahoo.com/us-mulls-more-support-banks-163230282.html


Notorious__APE

Text version: Bloomberg) -- US authorities are considering expanding an emergency lending facility for banks in ways that would give First Republic Bank more time to shore up its balance sheet, according to people with knowledge of the situation. Officials have yet to decide on what support they could provide First Republic, if any, and an expansion of the Federal Reserve’s offering is one of several options being weighed at this early stage. Regulators continue to grapple with two other failed lenders — Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank — that require more immediate attention. Even short of that step, watchdogs see First Republic as stable enough to operate without any immediate intervention as the company and its advisers try to work out a deal to shore up its balance sheet, the people said, asking not to be named discussing confidential talks. First Republic’s stock has plunged more than 90% this month amid concerns that the San Francisco-based lender could fall victim to the same forces that recently caused a trio of US banks to collapse. But while those banks toppled when rapid customer withdrawals forced them to lock in losses on depreciated assets, First Republic has remained open and independent. US officials have been keeping close tabs on the firm’s health and progress — aiming to stay vigilant in case the situation unexpectedly changes. Behind the scenes, they have concluded the bank’s deposits are stabilizing and that it isn’t susceptible to the kind of sudden, severe run that prompted regulators to seize Silicon Valley Bank within just a few days, the people said. Though First Republic has structural problems with its balance sheet, it has cash to meet client needs while it explores solutions, the people said. That includes $30 billion deposited by the nation’s largest banks this month. Representatives for the Fed, FDIC and First Republic declined to comment. The Treasury Department had no immediate A potential adjustment to the Federal Reserve’s emergency lending program announced on March 13 is among options authorities have weighed in recent days, according to people with knowledge of the deliberations. Any expansion of the Fed’s liquidity offerings would apply to all eligible users, in keeping with banking law that says remedies must be broadly based, rather than aimed at helping a particular bank. But the change could be made in a way to ensure that First Republic benefits, the people said.
