Banks make their money from depositors by lending to others.
Banks lend out almost all the money they have on deposit and this means that there could be a bank panic if a lender can’t retrieve their deposits.
The banks are supposed to hold a percentage of every dollar in reserves, which means they have a large pile of money.
What happens if the government wants to stimulate the economy, by telling the banks they can lend out part of their held deposits or all of it?
The last time the banks were able to lend out their reserves... we found ourselves in a global financial crash!
Dr. Richard Wolff explains to Thom how all this works.

The election in the ninth district of North Carolina was won by Republican Dan Bishop, by 4,000 votes.
However, investigative journalist Greg Palast claims that the only reason Bishop won was due to voter suppression. Watch his report on why the election in NC should have been a Democratic Party win.
Over 200,000 people have been removed from the electoral roll in North Carolina most of them registered Democrats or from demographics that regularly vote for democratic party candidates over Republicans.

Should Trump Have The Power To Take Us To War?
Tensions between Iran and the United States are growing thanks to President Trump. But does Trump have the ability to take us to war?
Only Congress can authorize a war. It’s right there in the Constitution. It requires a majority vote of both the House and the Senate to authorize war, and any war that is not authorized by Congress is illegal. The President does not have the power to start a war; that power is exclusively given to Congress. The Founders did this because they did not want any president to ever acquire the king-like power of war making: they believed it was too much power in the hands of one person, and thus could lead to disaster.
If Donald Trump tries to take us into war with Iran, Congress and massive public opinion must stop him. Call your member of the House and both your Senators today.

Did The Banks Just Tell Us A Massive Crash Is Coming? w/Richard Wolff
The Fed just dumped $75 billion into the economy.... and possibly to avert a massive financial crash.
Monday morning, large short term loans became unavailable and rates for these gigantic loans shot up.
High interest rates caused financial crashes in the past.
The Fed panicked and flooded the market with lots of money!
The question is why were short term loans unavailable, where did that money go and what shot up the interest rates?

Is The United States Ready To Erupt?
The most dangerous volcanoes in the United States are being ignored and that could lead to some very bad things.
The Mount Hood Volcano last erupted in 1781, so is another eruption due?
Gases are seen at the volcano. How much would an eruption damage near-by Portland and [lands] in-between?
Apparently red tape and regulations [are] making it difficult for volcanologists to build monitoring stations along Mount Hood and other active volcanoes.
Dr. Seth Moran is Scientist in Charge at Cascades Volcano Observatory and shares his thoughts on Mount Hood and volcano eruptions.
