Yes and as these loans default, they will have to continue to raise more cash. If home and commercial loans were ever marked to value, poof, banks gone.
This is not hidden from view, it is being pushed into the future.
More cash, more government debt, until how high.
Government debt will never go away, at least until the dollar does.
