Bloomberg reports #69
They have a tally of 69 failures total.
Beyond the fact that we have a pattern of burying the news on Friday @ 5pm EST, what are the bigger implications on all of these failures?
Ya know, it's like, ok, it's almost routine, like Happy Hour or something to see Bank Failure Friday.
I'm now out of touch with the implications. Is the FDIC still have funding, what's this mean to the taxpayer long term and so on.
I mean with something like Citigroup and AIG being predicted to never pay back even TARP (and lord knows what else they have from the Fed.) $1B here, $2.67B here seems like chump change.
The numbers are so massive it's warped even my perspective.
