According to @DrRichardWerner, most economists believe that, to make a loan, a bank must “transfer funds from other accounts within or outside the bank.”1/

No, Senator Paul: the Fed has paid banks $188B to lend _to it_, thus financing its multi-trillion dollar portfolio w/out letting inflation get entirely out of control. W/out interest in reserves, instead of parking funds at the Fed, banks would lend elsewhere, fueling inflation.*

I can’t find a source for this quote so often attributed to Boulding. Heilbroner wrote something very similar* in 1968 (“Putting Marx to Work,” _New York Review of Books_), and I suspect it’s a misattribution. Anyone?

Toyota is up +8% on the news of a 15% tariff. Why? It's simple. Ford, GM, Tesla, and all the other American manufacturers are going to be paying 50% more for their steel, 50% more for their copper, 25% more for their Canadian production, 25% more for their Mexican production, and 55% on their Chinese production. Toyota only has to pay 15% more and they're done with all the shenanigans. Ford has to pay much more than that. A lot more in fact. We've given a Japanese car company an advantage over American car companies. All in hope of bringing auto jobs back to America. 0D Chess.

FDIC: opposed by FDR until the 11th hour, when he realized he couldn’t stop it. CCC: great program, but tiny: 250,000 with over 10 million then unemployed. The NIRA: The NRA part that tried "reshaping industry" was a failure that impeded recovery. The SCOTUS killed it in '35.

In 2012, my coauthors and I published an article* asking, “Has the Fed been a Failure,” that is, had it failed to meet its promise? The answer was “Yes.” I’m confident we proved it. I’m also confident that any substitute the Trump administration comes up with will be even worse.

In 2012 two coauthors and I published an article* asking “Has the Fed Been a Failure?”—that is, had it met its promise? The answer was “no.” I’m still confident we proved it. I’m also confident that any replacement the Trump administration might come up with would be even worse.

I favor showing leniency toward those willing to learn more—and a week in the stocks for academic economists who are aware of at least some of these writings, but deliberately ignore them.*
