does she quote a source ??  or is she  using the FDIC as a stage prop


 i hear anecdotal data  that says a scary number of US citizens  have less than one month's cash reserves   ( and i assume outstanding debt  not currently due )


 in fact many are living from pay-check to pay-check  , now in Australia that is not  really bad ( in my social circles ) but in a credit-addicted  society  ??


 and if Ms Yellen  is thinking of those Basel III buffers  ( which Australian banks regularly  test for and pass comfortably ) MAYBE she should go back  a few months  ( about a year ) and re-read the relaxation  of lending standards  implemented to add 'liquidity ' to the US economy

 it can be  , everyone panicking in the same direction is called a stampede , and that can change a lot  ( and when they are panicked and ANGRY  that is called a riot )
