Rep. Rashida Tlaib EXPOSES Where Big Banks Actually Put Your Money!

Описание: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent got absolutely grilled by Representative Rashida Tlaib in a House Financial Services Committee hearing this week, and what she uncovered is genuinely shocking. While community banks lend 75% of their deposits to families and small businesses, the biggest banks-the ones that pose the greatest threat to our entire financial system-only lend 40% to the real economy, choosing instead to park money with hedge funds and private equity. Even worse, these massive banks are required to hold half as much capital as your local community bank, despite being infinitely more dangerous. And in November, regulators just slashed their capital requirements by another $219
billion. When Tlaib confronted Bessent— a former hedge fund manager who spent decades at Soros Fund Management— about this absurd double standard, he dismissed her concerns as "naive." This is the same pattern we saw before 2008, before the 2023 bank failures that cost taxpayers billions. They never learn, and we always pay the price.
