This is major – Bernanke and Fed to Eliminate Reserve Requirements?<\/font><\/strong> – Paco Ahlgren – Let\u2019s be clear about what this means: … Now we are up to our eyeballs in debt \u2014 levels never before seen in history, … Banks \u2014 encouraged by the government \u2014 lent trillions of dollars to people who couldn\u2019t afford to buy homes. A bubble formed because of artificial demand created by the government.  Now this same government, in an attempt to stimulate lending (again), is encouraging banks to leverage themselves 100%. The absurdity is stupefying. I\u2019m absolutely floored that the Chairman of the Federal Reserve actually proposed ending fractional reserve banking. We have entered a new era, indeed\u2026<\/strong>  – The Bottom Violation<\/a> <\/p>\n
