Bank Failures

13 + 6 = 19

Out of 47 (so far) bank failures this year -- 40.43% have been in TWO states. Florida and Georgia. These are among the most "conservative" of the southern "red" states. Why do they accept money from the Federal Government? Why must the depositors be made "whole", their money guaranteed by the HATED Feds.?

Do they REALLY believe in "self reliance"?

I just do not understand why THAT part of the "New Deal" is O.K. -- but things like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid are just too much for the richest nation in the world to provide for its citizens?

Heck, even France, Germany, Sweden, Italy, Spain, Iceland, Norway, Great Britain, etc., etc., etc., provide these things for their citizens.

What is wrong with us?
