“Your deposits will be there when you need them,” Biden said.

Despite the message from the White House, investors continued to dump shares in bank stocks. Shares of First Republic Bank plunged more than 70% even after the bank said it was accessing emergency funding from the Federal Reserve as well as additional funds from JPMorgan Chase. […]

He promised that no losses would be borne by taxpayers. “We must get the full accounting of what happened,” he said. “Americans can have confidence that the banking system is safe.”

Biden also said the managers of the banks should be fired. …

He lies, deceives and dissembles. At other times he’s just incoherent.

But it works for him and his cronies.

A good part of the country goes along with it.

The banks aren’t the problem, joe. You are. You are a marxist and your policies are destroying the economy. So shut up about confidence.

How many of those 81 million ‘votes’ for Biden were actually phony ballots stuffed into drop boxes in the middle of the night?

The American people did not elect this elderly man with dementia.
These are very dangerous times. God help us all!

Actually not many and in only 3-4 Blue cities where it mattered. He didn't supposedly win by much.

Im old enough to remember when they told us this inflation was “transitory”. So the Fed will pause rate hikes AND they lay out few hundred billion to backstop these bank runs?

What is left of the USA Economy all goes to Zelenskyy and Keiv, our real Masters. Wait for the food riots to come. This will be nothing like the 1930s depression. Race riots are coming and cities will burn. Wait for the real insurrection when Trump is arrested for “Treason”.

Remember when Hoover said “Prosperity is just around the corner?” It wasn’t and socialist FDR was swept into power for 12 years—Just as Obama will rule (though puppets) for the next years.

People knew a year ago this bank had problems. The chief risk officer quit her position a year ago but didn’t depart the company until October of last year. Vesting to keep her mouth shut?

I’ll be honest. I generally talk to google who transcribes..
