Forbes Magazine: How Trump’s Deregulation Sowed The Seeds For Silicon Valley Bank’s Demise

[Toddsterpatriot]

I guess you know more than Forbes huh?

Forbes said Trump made them illiquid? Link?

 

[dudmuck]

Nothing Trump did made them illiquid.

Not even a tiny bit.

deregulation lets them do risky things.

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Do you ever get tired of being wrong?

Under Trump there was actually NEGATIVE INFLATION!

Prices were going DOWN.

U.S. Inflation Rate 1960-2023

That chart is only to 2021...2022 was DOUBLE THAT at 8.8%.

That's the highest it's been since another Democrat, Jimmy Carter, gave us 14% in 1979!

I was 7 years old.

"Star Wars" the original movie had been out for two years. The release of "The Empire Strikes Back" was still a year away.

The Golden Eagle Trans Am that "Smokey and the Bandit" made famous was brand new on showroom floors.

That's how long it's been since we've had 8.8% inflation.

Biden and the Democrats OWN inflation at these staggering levels.

Under Trump there was actually NEGATIVE INFLATION!

That's disinflation, not negative inflation (deflation).

*This post has been edited to reflect the erroneous casting of the inflation rate as negative and rewritten to clarify that inflation was rising at lower rate than the previous year for two consecutive years, but was not negative, which would require an inflation rate below zero.

Putin owns it. Our inflation is better than anywhere else DUHHH....Try reality.

 

[BackAgain]

Hey dipshit...they had a liquidity problem. And liquidity problem occurred because of the change in regs that Trump signed off on.

That's just a fact

It’s a mere claim.

How did Putin cause US inflation?

Democrat philosophy of responsibility...

Yep, they had a liquidity problem, but it was due to a stupidity problem...dumbass.

Is that anything like when democrats forced banks to make loans to people who couldn't afford to make the payments?

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

And you still haven't figured it out yet.

WTF?
YOU'RE the one questioning whether the banks having enough $$$ in reserve is enough, for a run by customers.
A bank failed, then you claim I haven't figured it out?

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Is that anything like when democrats forced banks to make loans to people who couldn't afford to make the payments?

NO, because no one forced banks to loan $$$ to ANYONE and loans weren't even the issue.

 

[bigrebnc1775]

NO, because no one forced banks to loan $$$ to ANYONE and loans weren't even the issue.

In 1995 Clinton loosened housing rules by rewriting the Community Reinvestment Act, which put added pressure on banks to lend in low-income neighborhoods.

I want to share with you an article that explains how Trump's deregulation led to the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank, one of the largest banks in the country. The article is here: How Trump’s Deregulation Sowed The Seeds For Silicon Valley Bank’s Demise

The article says that Trump signed a law in 2018 that weakened the rules for banks that were put in place after the 2008 financial crisis. The law was called the Economic Growth, Regulatory Relief and Consumer Protection Act (S.2155), but it did not protect consumers at all. It allowed banks like Silicon Valley Bank to take more risks with their money and hide their problems from regulators.

The law was supported by most Republicans and a minority of Democrats who were fooled by the bank lobbyists. Most Democrats voted against it The Senate passed it by a vote of 67-31, with 16 Democrats voting for it. The House passed it by a vote of 258-159, with 225 Republicans and 33 Democrats voting for it. Trump signed it into law on May 24, 2018.

Now we are paying the price for this Trump law. Silicon Valley Bank failed because it gambled on risky loans and investments that went bad. It also lied about its financial health and hid its losses from regulators and investors. The bank's failure caused a lot of damage to the economy and hurt millions of customers, employees and shareholders. This is why we need to hold Trump and his allies accountable for their actions.

They sold us out to the big banks and put our economy at risk. We need to repeal this law and restore strong regulations for banks that protect consumers and prevent another crisis.

Everything that goes wrong in the entire universe is always Trump’s fault. Joe Biden and the Democrats are blameless.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

No you haven't figured it out

WTF?
Another illiterate teabagger?
No bank can withstand a run on the deposits, if they are only required to have 10% of their deposits ON HAND.
Back to special-ed preschool for you.

 

[Nuthin' Fancy]

Everything that goes wrong in the entire universe is always Trump’s fault. Joe Biden and the Democrats are blameless.

NOT everything, some things Trump never got around to fuck it up.

Not everything. The 2018 law though.

So................"Added pressure" isn't FORCING.
The CRA only applies to federally chartered banks.
Most community banks weren't even affected.
The CRA doesn't require any lender to bundle mortgages, then sell them.
