My concern is that many US banks have been relying upon holding US Treasuries for income to rebuild their balance sheets (buying them with cheaper funds from the Fed (1/4 percent) as the US national debt has nearly doubled.. But with current rates so low, it's likely to really impact their revenue streams and their ability to earn interest going forward.

So the question is whether these low rates are going to require banks to take more risks in lending to a private sector that is already burdened with debt and intent on de-leveraging and raising cash?
