WASHINGTON -- Federal regulators say the nation's banks are in trouble, pointing to an easing of lending standards, rising numbers of problem loans and declining earnings amid a strong economy as obvious warning signs.

The FDIC reported Thursday that U.S. bank profits dropped to $14.7 billion in the spring quarter.
