Actually if I was reading that graph, I would say the time period from 1996 to 2009 was just as anomalous as what the last few years were. This is assuming that banks must keep a ratio rather than an absolute dollar amount. Not sure of an aha moment, but it is human nature to use whatever information we can find to support our positions and I am as guilty as the next person. However I am just trying to point out that the idea that we are anywhere close to weimar Germany or that savers should get 10% in savings accounts like the 70's-80's needs to be taken with a grain of salt. The information age allows us so much information at our finger tips, but this just means we have to take so much more time to decider it.
