Great charts showing the slowdown in lending under Biden. Inflation, government waste in spending and asset bubbles make banks tentative about lending.

You say “reverse repo” twenty times in the excerpt without saying what the hell a “reverse repo” is. Good job!

...asset bubbles make banks tentative about lending.

Seems loose lending standards would be more likely to fuel an asset bubble.

Turning cash into something real is a good idea while your cash is becoming trash. The Fed has slowed down printing a bit last month but there is still a lot of bloated money the market needs to catch up with. The worst Inflation in living memory is still on its way.

[Mariner]

A slowdown in lending is a desirable thing.

The Fed are blind central planners. Imagine the apparatchiks in the Soviet Ministry of Agriculture in 1973 and you are getting close to their mentality.

The demand for loans has more to do with government over-regulation, social and family conditions, inflation, labor, crime than merely interest rates.
