Taxing Wall Street Down to Size
Keywords:
Tags:
David Stockman was Budget Director under President Reagan and known for his prodigous grasp of statistics in the national budget. Here he takes on what he describes as disproportionately large and destructive banking system for the U.S. economy, which he says the nation desperately needs less of. He supports the small tax of 0.15% of the debts other than deposits of financial conglomerates. His words are some of the strongest yet to come from one of the most prominent people on Reagan's economic team about how the nation's banking system has beome unproductive in supporting economic activity which is its reason for existence. The destructive effects on social cohesion and the middle class is emphasized. He says for years the Fed has run an insanely loose monetary policy that has encouraged this behaviour and socially detrimental profit seeking by the banks and other companies. He sees the big banks as dangerous institutions in today's economy engaged in a bull market culture which believes in entitlement and profitseeking behaviours regardless of its detrimental nature for the national economy. The recent profits of the banks in 2009 and the resulting bonuses are a result of the Fed's easy money policy and bank's gambling at the Fed's monetary casino as he puts it, with money obtained at little cost from Fed-controlled money markets. This article helps to eliminate the distorted perspective in today's climate that paints criticism of splitting up the banks, or otherwise restricting banks in engaging in proprietary trading and risky behaviours, as government interference. As Stockman puts it these banks are already in some sense wards of the state and not private enterprises and this issue is not relevant. The question now is how to set things right and this involves possible solutions such splitting up banks that are too big to fail, restricting risky behaviours and preventing proprietary trading, and other actions as unusual steps for unusual times to get things working back to normal. In other times Stockman would not have said this in an op-ed piece if this were not so.
David Stockman, Reagan's Budget Director prodigy, on bank behaviour and solutions to the banking and economic crisis.
01/20/2010
Stockman takes on the banks as instruments of the impoverishment of the U.S. economy and of the American middle class. He derides the loose monetary policy of the Fed, that has encouraged insane and socially unproductive behaviours of the American banks.

Lack of prosecutions by U.S. government agencies after the financial crisis of 2008
01/20/2010
A record of few prosecutions of senior executives of the companies that engaged in practices that led to the financial crisis of 2008. Various reasons are cited - the fragility of the financial system in 2009, the lack of cooperation from regulatory agencies, lack of funding for the FBI and the Justice Department to assign special staff for the effort.

01/02/2009
Failure of the Obama administration to reduce foreclosures and help homeowners. A worsening foreclosure situation leads to a continuing decline in housing prices and hampers an economic recovery in the U.S. This is something Martin Feldstein grasped very early during the 2008 financial crisis and made proposals for helping homeowners under water.

American families work down their debt, reducing credit card balances.

And what does that mean for consumption? Does it prolong the downturn with demand slow to pick up? What does it mean for exports from China?

A behind the scenes account of JP Morgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon's discovery and response to large losses
01/15/2010
Dimon's first encounter with the losses at the bank was through an account of Chief Investment Office trader Iksil's trades in the Wall Street Journal on April 6, 2012. The trader was referred to as the "London Whale" and large losses were mentioned. This has raised questions about whether banks of the size of JP Morgan can even be effectively managed by a CEO. The decision by the U.S. Federal Reserve, Treasury and regulators to encourage the merger of failed financial firms Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual with JP Morgan Chase- ostensibly because no mechanism to wind down such firms existed- not only created a mega bank but also created additional risks from banks too big to manage.

Deutsche Bank's image in Germany 2008-2015
01/02/2009
Deutsche Bank's image takes a hit in an alleged carbon credit value added tax fraud. Its headquarters in Frankfurt are raided by German police and investigators. Co-CEO Jurgen Fitschen's call to the Governor of Hesse protesting the raid is criticized in Germany as intervening in an ongoing investigation of the bank. Earlier Deutsche Bank's role in the 2008 financial crisis with its participation in the mortgage securities market in the U.S. came under criticism. This also raised the question whether a change in management with the two new co-CEO's made in mid 2012 has changed the culture at the bank.

Wealth gap in the U.S. between whites and minorities- devastating impact of the recession of 2008
01/05/2009
Hispanics and blacks counted housing equity as a much bigger part of their assets than whites. The recession and financial crisis of 2008 wiped out fully two thirds of the median net worth of Hispanic families and one half for Black families, with both groups having close to $6000 in total median net worth in 2010, according to data from Pew surveys.The recession has proved to be severe in its impact on minorities, and the election of a black president has done little to improve things- especially considering the dismal record of the Obama administration in helping prevent foreclosures.

He says both plans put off cuts and taxes till way into the future- from 12 years to 20 years into the future.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
