- Another banking failure is a clear indication of the state of the economy, despite attempts to downplay its significance.
- The number of problem banks in the US has jumped 18%, raising concerns about the stability of the financial sector.
- The mainstream media downplays banking problems, while the FDIC keeps a “naughty list” of problem banks.

- The perceived counter party risk within the monetary system is increasing, leading to a higher probability of bank credit continuing to flatline or decline.
- Sustained inflation would require the money supply to increase like in the 1970s, which is dependent on banks lending, highlighting the importance of the banking system in driving inflation.
