Extradition case dropped - Canadians released

Omarova said in a paper published in October that having Americans park their money at the Fed would allow the central bank to more directly and efficiently pull the levers of monetary policy by enabling it to credit individual citizens' accounts when there's a need to stimulate the economy. The system she envisioned would mark the end of the federal government's backing of bank deposits and other subsidies, meaning it would also eliminate the "too big to fail" problem in which Washington bails out big banks when they hit the skids.

"Banks, in other words, will not be 'special' anymore," Omarova wrote. "By separating their lending function from their monetary function, the proposed reform will effectively 'end banking,' as we know it."

‘Foreign agent’ claims against Hong Kong’s Tiananmen Massacre vigil organisers defy understanding
