M,
On the money issue... I was wondering on the stimulus etc.. not that I am defending banks here :O) but is there a great demand for loans ? beyond the likes of Microsoft taking proper advantage of cheap money in the US money partly due apparently because of taxes on repatriated earnings :O)

Good point. It really does take two to tango.

This is from the July senior loan officers' survey.

The July survey indicated that, on net, banks continued to ease lending standards and most terms on all major types of loans other than loans secured by real estate over the past three months.2 Modest net fractions of respondents noted an increase in demand for commercial and industrial (C&I) and commercial real estate (CRE) loans over the same period; at the same time, banks reportedly experienced, on net, slightly weaker demand for some categories of residential real estate loans.----

================

so yes the money needs to be picked up and used.. just sitting there is more like a symptom ?

on the cutting the dole etc.. one needs be careful there or you can get your much decried every man for himself society.. but when it becomes a large habit.. well that is no longer a benefit either.. either it is doing far more than designed to do.. it becomes a serious disincentive for payor and payee..

When you were talking glaciation I thought you meant geologically.... not wrt the POG :O)
