So much for Biden as a man of the People. Guess what % of deposits were uninsured (above the $250,000 limit)?

The residents of Silicon Valley have multi-million dollar mortgages to pay off. AND… they vote Democrat robotically.

Tech mogul and Republican campaign donor Peter Thiel is being accused of sparking the run on the bank that forced regulators to close down Silicon Valley Bank.
Journalists and critics have turned their focus on Thiel in the wake of SVB's collapse, accusing him of influencing businesses to withdraw their funding from the bank. His efforts are thought to be the first that eventually sparked the bank run, leading to California regulators intervening.

Better yet, read the whole article...I'd REALLY like to get your thoughts on it.

taxpayers won't be footing the bill.
Meanwhile...back to the Trump admin's 2018 bill that loosened regulations on banks like SVB...a "Stress Test" on SVB would have highlighted the very risky financing of SVB's "Hold To Maturity" bonds.

pay by passing through regulatory costs onto depositors. So, it becomes another way to lower the standard of living for millions of households, just like ESG drives up input costs for all goods and services.
perhaps do your own research regarding how the "Bank Funded" compensation works...get back to us when you figure it out....btw, here's the excerpt that you should have picked up on...

"The U.S. rescue plan involves tapping a deep reserve of bank-funded federal insurance money, not taxpayer dollars, according to officials."

WASHINGTON — Plans announced Sunday to fully reimburse deposits made in the collapsed Silicon Valley Bank and the shuttered Signature Bank will rely on Wall Street and large financial institutions — not taxpayers — to foot the bill, Treasury officials said.
"For the banks that were put into receivership, the FDIC will use funds from the Deposit Insurance Fund to ensure that all of its depositors are made whole," said a senior Treasury Department official, who spoke to reporters Sunday about the plan on the condition of anonymity.
"The Deposit Insurance Fund is bearing the risk," the official emphasized. "This is not funds from the taxpayer."
The Deposit Insurance Fund is part of the FDIC and FUNDED BY QUARTERLY FEES ASSESSED ON FDIC-INSURED FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS, as well as interest on funds invested in government bonds.
The DIF currently has over $100 billion in it, a sum the Treasury official said was "more than fully sufficient" to cover SVB and Signature depositors.
In addition to protecting these deposits, the Federal Reserve announced a new Bank Term Funding Program that is aimed at safeguarding institutions vulnerable to the market instability created by the SVB failure. (emphasis mine)

In short, banks have been paying into this contingency fund for a very long time...there will be no impact on taxpayers...tell me you understand...

btw, as to the difference between "Depositors" and "Investors", the attached link should help you appreciate why those investors aren't being bailed out here.

...it is a big lie by the FDIC and Biden Admin that this will not be on the taxpayers. What tax payer doesn't use a bank?
This makes their other statements of reassurance much less reassuring. They lie whenever it suits them. Same as with the pandemic.
