Bank deposits have never been considered money. They are an asset to you and a liability on the banks balance sheet. When a bank goes belly up, the ONLY thing protecting you is FDIC insurance.

If you think your money is yours in a bank, go back to a high school economics class—or watch it’s a wonderful life.

Regardless of the semantics, it is time to burn the “bankers” at the stake and put an end to the shenanigans. The “Money Changers” have absolutely too much “influence” and must be put down, IMO.

It’s time to stop the nonsense and put the “Free Market” back in the drivers seat, along with “regulations” that keep the “money Changers’ in their place, IMO.

No argument here.

What they did do is to establish a new order of priority for depositors in the case of a bank failure. It pushed depositors down the list of who can recover what. Still with FDIC it should not matter in the US. Other places, I am not sure.

I suspect what is going on here is that the government is fully aware that this change will create a separation between bank deposits and government securities. Government securities, especially short-term paper, will become a safer investment than large banks deposits. This will drive funds away from banks and private sector lending and push funds into the direction of government sponsored debt (where there will be continued back up for such debt of the money printing presses)

That might be what they want, but that isn't what they will get. People will take their money out of the matrix entirely, or put it in the stock market to get some return.

FDIC will guarantee the money, but they don’t guarantee, say , that you will be able to withdraw it. Or withdraw it in the next ten years.

CWII Spark Ping — “On Nov. 16, the G20 will implement a new policy that makes bank deposits on par with paper investments, subjecting account holders to declines that one might experience from holding a stock or other security when the next financial banking crisis occurs.”

IOW, they're gearing up to pop the fiat-money bubble and laugh at you when you expect the FICA insurance to kick in… I'm reminded of this:

(Gen 47:13-26)
Now there was no food in all the land, for the famine was very severe. The land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine. Joseph collected all the money to be found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, in exchange for the grain that they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house. When the money from the land of Egypt and from the land of Canaan was spent, all the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, “Give us food! Why should we die before your eyes? For our money is gone.” And Joseph answered, “Give me your livestock, and I will give you food in exchange for your livestock, if your money is gone.” So they brought their livestock to Joseph; and Joseph gave them food in exchange for the horses, the flocks, the herds, and the donkeys. That year he supplied them with food in exchange for all their livestock. When that year was ended, they came to him the following year, and said to him, “We cannot hide from my lord that our money is all spent; and the herds of cattle are my lord’s. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our lands. Shall we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land in exchange for food. We with our land will become slaves to Pharaoh; just give us seed, so that we may live and not die, and that the land may not become desolate.

So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh. All the Egyptians sold their fields, because the famine was severe upon them; and the land became Pharaoh’s. As for the people, he made slaves of them from one end of Egypt to the other. Only the land of the priests he did not buy; for the priests had a fixed allowance from Pharaoh, and lived on the allowance that Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their land. Then Joseph said to the people, “Now that I have this day bought you and your land for Pharaoh, here is seed for you; sow the land. And at the harvests you shall give one-fifth to Pharaoh, and four-fifths shall be your own, as seed for the field and as food for yourselves and your households, and as food for your little ones.” They said, “You have saved our lives; may it please my lord, we will be slaves to Pharaoh.” So Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt, and it stands to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth. The land of the priests alone did not become Pharaoh’s.
The priests in our American tale are the bankers, who have saved for themselves lands and monies; the Pharaoh/Joseph is the political elite… and they do not have our interest at heart at all.

If a banknote cannot be subjected to a decline in nominal value, we need to ask whether banknotes can act as a superior store of value than bank deposits? If that is the case, will some investors prefer banknotes to bank deposits as a form of savings? Such a change in preference is known as a “bank run.”
