The Watchman On The Wall

The Watchman On The Wall
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Verse 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

S&P Downgrades Eight Big US Banks

12_02_SP_ACTION_USBANKSTERS_jgfla

S&P has cut ratings on 8 US banks, U.S. Global Systemically Important Bank Holding Companies Downgraded Based On Uncertain Likelihood Of Government Support

The agency said the move reflected its view that the US government’s likelihood of providing aid to banks was now “uncertain”.
Based on our review of progress made toward putting in place a viable US resolution plan, we now consider the likelihood that the US government would provide extraordinary support to its banking system to be “uncertain” and are removing the uplift based on government support from our ratings.
The move comes after the Federal Reserve proposed a rule on banks’ “total loss absorbing capacity”, or TLAC, earlier this year, that said that banks must carry capital and liabilities equal to 18 per cent of risk-weighted assets that can be written off during times of trouble.
Above is a chart of the actions taken today from S&P:

the Federal Reserve will eventually create a financial crisis far worse than 2008-2009 which will require an entire reset of the United States financial system.
