FDIC flashes SOS – 1,000 bank failures before recession is over – FDIC not too far away from tapping into U.S. Treasury $500 billion taxpayer lifeline. Georgia leads the pack with 40 bank failures since 2008.

By the end of the recession, there will be approximately 1,000 bank failures.  Does this sound extreme?  It should but the numbers don’t cover the entire story.  Since 2008 the number of bank failures has reached 269 and this doesn’t include consolidations done through the FDIC where bigger banks ate up smaller banks before they […]

FDIC flashes code red – Banking system insolvent and expecting more bank failures. Since 2008 247 banks with $616 billion in assets have failed. History of Federal Reserve designed to protect the big banks.

The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) will be the next billion and possibly trillion dollar government bailout.  We have the FDIC that insures over 8,000 banks with an insurance fund that is in the negative.  From 2000 to October of 2007 only 27 banks were closed down by the FDIC.  Nearly eight full years and […]
