Если я был бы г-ном Рябининым, я сказал бы: "Не надо пытаться всех перехитрить". Но я им не являюсь, поэтому повторю то, что сказал ранее, а именно, что у Вас, на мой взгляд, в первую очередь идёт Ваша теория и только потом - анализ фактов. Смотрите
[...] статистику ФРС по денежной массе.
Ну, если вы не Рябинин, то и не приводите его слов. А то позлословите и прячетесь за чужую спину.
За статистику спасибо. Мне не всё в ней понятно - она слишком общая, поэтому отослал сегодня "запрос" приятелю из Калифорнии, вдруг ему больше известно. В общем буду разбираться. Это действительно может скорректировать аргументы.
Что касается спора между вами и Сидоровым, в котором я поддержал Сидорова, то эта статистика никак к этому спору не относится. Те же американцы, в отличие от вас, беспокоятся как и Сидоров, что деньги вязнут в "финансовых организациях". Вот, почитайте (к сожалению, вынужден дать целиком, а не ссылку, так как получил её по "мылу").

WASHINGTON, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Companies receiving public money under a
U.S. government financial rescue program must use it for lending or they
will be violating the law, the powerful chairman of the U.S. House of
Representatives Financial Services Committee said on Friday.
"Any use of the these funds for any purpose other than lending -- for
bonuses, for severance pay, for dividends, for acquisitions of other
institutions, etc. -- is a violation of the terms of the act," Rep. Barney
Frank, a Massachusetts Democrat, said in a statement.
Frank was referring to a $700 billion financial rescue law passed by
Congress earlier this month. The Treasury Department plans to use $250
billion of that amount to inject capital into financial institutions to
unfreeze credit markets and restore lending. [ID:nN14514692]
A growing number of Democratic lawmakers have demanded more restrictions on
banks receiving government money.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson must make it "absolutely clear" to a
participating bank that the federal government will insist on compliance,
Frank said.
Frank later told CNBC television on Friday that if banks do not honor the
"principle" of using the funds to increase lending, Congress could fail to
authorize the final $350 billion of the rescue plan.
The Treasury Department had no immediate comment.
Addressing lawmakers' questions last week, Neel Kashkari, the Treasury's
interim manager for the rescue program, said the final purchase agreements
between the Treasury and individual banks will have specific language on
lending.
But he did not rule out the possibility of the capital injections being
partly used to encourage acquisitions, saying that if a stronger bank
acquires a weaker bank that has not been in a position to lend, the
community is better served.
"We want our banks to lend," Kashkari said during the Senate Banking
Committee hearing last week. "But we also didn't want to be in a position
of micromanaging on this."
NO STRINGS ATTACHED
A "no strings attached" policy by the government would be smart, because it
allows banks to operate in areas they have the most expertise, one banking
analyst said.
"I just don't think the public gets it, and certainly Congress doesn't get
it," said Anton Schutz, president of money managers Mendon Capital Advisors
Corp in Rochester, New York.
For example, a bank that receives $25 billion through the bailout program
could buy $250 billion in asset-backed securities from Fannie Mae or
Freddie Mac, Schutz said. "That lending may not be direct, it may be in
purchasing securities, but that's helping to unfreeze the market," he said.
"You got to let those companies do what is economically sound."
Under the Treasury Department program, the first $125 billion went to nine
large U.S. banks, and the remaining $125 billion will be injected into
community and regional banks.
In exchange for fresh capital, banks must give preferred shares to the
government. The program also includes some restrictions on executive
compensation and forbids banks from raising dividends and or making stock
repurchases.
In recent days, some lawmakers have pressed the Treasury Department to
attach more conditions, including a ban on all dividends and restrictions
on the type of lending allowed.
Such conditions could be imposed through administrative guidelines and bank
regulators could restrict banks' activities if they don't follow them.
A group of Democratic senators, including Charles Schumer of New York, last
week asked the Treasury Department to issue guidelines on the type and
amount of lending that participating banks must execute, and the level of
oversight needed for their executives' compensation.
The Bank of New York Mellon (BK.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz)
said it is abiding by the government's conditions.
"We are using the $3 billion (injection) to provide liquidity to the credit
markets," spokesman Kevin Heine said. "Our clients are primarily
institutions, and we provide short-term funding to them. We will not use
the $3 billion to pay dividends or bonuses."
PNC Financial (PNC.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said last week
that it would buy National City Corp (NCC.N: Quote, Profile, Research,
Stock Buzz), the ailing Cleveland lender, with help from a $7.7 billion
government capital infusion.
Other recipients of federal capital have remained silent on how they will
use the money.
Goldman Sachs (GS.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz), which received
$10 billion from the government, declined to disclose its plans for the
capital. Bank of America (BAC.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz),
JPMorgan Chase (JPM.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) and Merrill
Lynch (MER.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) declined to comment.
A White House spokesman said on Friday that banks receiving capital
injections should not use that money "to increase dividends or pay
dividends."
One day earlier, a Bush administration official criticized calls to ban any
dividend payments by participating banks. The official, who spoke on
condition of anonymity, said such a move would discourage participation in
the capital program, jeopardizing its chance to unfreeze credit markets, or
would send investors fleeing to other companies that could still pay
dividends, thus making the banks even weaker. (Reporting by Karey
