You have to wonder what the plan is.
In Greece you have the government telling people have faith in the banks, put your money in and yet the same government is saying they will start taking money out of bank accounts to pay alleged tax arrears.
You have the same in the UK. Banks need recapitalization, they need to clean their balance sheets, and yet you see stories which only make people wary of putting money in the bank.
And now Russia
So the central banks and the money center banks want/need money just not from depositors.
It is almost as if they like being in a hole because they can demand money from government rather than having to make all those pesky loans which leads to all that extra paperwork and risk.
Much easier and more profitable to buy politicians and blackmail governments.
