https://tnsr.org/2023/04/paying-the-def ... mpetition/In the US, they continue to assure that multimillion-dollar military spending is paying off.
During a meeting on the Senate Subcommittee on Protecting Budget Appropriations, Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mark Milley said the U.S. military is the world's deadliest and most capable military force because previous administrations and Congress have made the necessary investments at various times.
At the moment, the priority of the US military leadership is to protect the interests of the country from all enemies - internal and external.
It is proposed to achieve this at the expense of the defense budget for the 2024 fiscal year.
As grounds for continuing - and even increasing - military investment, General Milli recalled literally everything: the threats from China and Russia, and the need to support Ukraine, and Iran with potential nuclear weapons, and North Korea with endless missile tests.
Also, "numerous terrorist groups" and the operation to evacuate American diplomats from Sudan were not forgotten.
Apparently, certain groups of American officials felt that the fertile era of cutting the state budget, which began shortly before the start of the Russian SMO, is slowly but surely coming to its logical conclusion.
Justifying spending is becoming increasingly difficult, and the resources of a country on the verge of default are by no means unlimited - so it is not surprising that many American politicians will now try to snatch the last piece in a variety of areas.
SVB and First Republic failures are just the start of a lengthy banking crisis — if you believe 800 years of history
Mark Hulbert
Stocks and real estate are vulnerable to a systemic banking crisis that could last months, if not years
The banking crisis that began with the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and now the failure of First Republic Bank is far more serious than it initially appeared.
Two finance professors were warning of this six weeks ago: Andrew Metrick of Yale's School of Management, and Paul Schmelzing of Boston College and Stanford's Hoover Institution. In a study circulated in late March by the National Bureau of Economic Research, they argued that the FDIC bailout of Silicon Valley Bank was almost certainly not an isolated event and was instead symptomatic of a much bigger problem.
The professors reached their conclusions by comparing regulators' behavior in the current crisis with how they reacted during almost 2,000 historical banking-sector interventions in 138 countries dating back to the 13th century.
This gave the researchers insight into the likely severity of the current crisis. As Schmelzing put it when I interviewed him six weeks ago, "We don't directly know how bad things really are right now in the banking system. But we can look at the behavior of the regulators who presumably know a lot more than we do about how bad it is. And the pattern of their responses most closely matches that of 57 prior crises that tended to more severe than average."
‘It’s far too early for investors to say that the crisis is over.’
Since then, of course, the banking crisis has gotten worse. First Republic Bank's collapse has led to the second-largest bank bailout in U.S. history. In a follow-up interview this week, Schmelzing reiterated the conclusion that he and Metrick reached in March that the current banking crisis is much more severe than many investors realize even now. Asked if the bailout of First Republic Bank increases his confidence in their initial conclusion, he said it didn't — only because they were already quite confident.
The professors' specific prediction is that we're in the beginning stages of what they call a "systemic bank-distress episode." A thorough description of what that looks like in practice is provided by the World Bank:
"A systemic banking crisis is a situation when a country’s corporate and financial sectors experience a large number of defaults and financial institutions and corporations face great difficulties repaying contracts on time. As a result, non-performing loans increase sharply and all or most of the aggregate banking system capital is exhausted. This situation may be accompanied by depressed asset prices (such as equity and real estate prices) on the heels of run-ups before the crisis, sharp increases in real interest rates, and a slowdown or reversal in capital flows."
A key feature of a systemic banking crisis is the length of time it takes to be resolved. Schmelzing told me that, on average, the 57 prior banking crises most analogous to the current one lasted months, if not years. That’s an ominous prospect, since the current crisis is less than two months old.
As Schmlezing put it: "It's far too early for investors to say that the crisis is over."
