What is that, around the 5th bank so far this year?
How does an institution (Any American bank) that has the power to LEND money into existence...go broke?
This stinks like politics. Like Barry Hussein's Grand Plan of putting those pesky little Building-and-Loans out of business, because, in his divine opinion, we had "too many" banks.
Too many to easily corrupt, he meant, of course. But one by one the neighborhood banks got stomped, shut-down, force-merged into WF or JPMC or BA...and this trend continues.
Soon they'll start attacking the credit unions. Already there's a merger-mania in my region over THOSE.
They have not learned the US Treasury Dept's trick of lending to themselves.
