You said "repos" that is not an argument. Greenspan once believed the banks could be trusted. He has to admit he was wrong. Ben Bernanke was telling us that housing was solid right up until it collapsed.
What the ever loving hell are you talking about? The repo agreements the fed has been facilitating the last couple months have been to inject liquidity into the nation’s banking reserves. The reason for it is that demand for money is higher than supply. What happens when demand is higher than supply? Econ 101 tells us that prices will increase. So the price of money (interest rates) increases. The interest rate on overnight loans that banks facilitate between each other to remain not only solvent, but also ensure theyre at 10% reserve at the close of business each day, was skyrocketing to 10% or more because banks were coming up too short on cash to meet their requirements.
Use your head. This means the economy is strong because spending is exceeding the supply of money to spend.
