Ha they loved and encouraged it. Anyone who knows about FRB will know what making a zero reserve requirement will do to credit (go exponential). Once you push risk under reserve you ensure bankruptcy, but you get loads of consumption to tax.

#4 Here' my Advice

Track changes in Reserve requirements with changes in M4.

Have an open market in CDS and publish outstanding CDS positions.
