US banks shaken by biggest deposit withdrawals since 9/11


rt.com
US Federal Reserve is reporting a major deposit withdrawal from the nation’s bank accounts. The financial system hasn’t seen such a massive fund outflow since 9/11 attacks.

The first week of January 2013 has seen $114 billion withdrawn from 25 of the US’ biggest banks, pushing deposits down to $5.37 trillion, according to the US Fed. Financial analysts suggest it could be down to the Transaction Account Guarantee insurance program coming to an end on December 31 last year and clients moving their money that is no longer insured by the government.

Yes, it is significant, other sources not as controversial as RT.
are reporting it also.

Mostly due to the change in FDIC insurance limits effective December 31, 2012.

Clients of the largest U.S. banks withdrew funds this month at the fastest weekly pace since the Sept. 11 attacks as a deposit-insurance program ended and customers tapped into their year-end cash hoards.

Smart people, taking into consideration that all the big banks and investment firms that control the wealth, retirement and pensions in this nation including the housing market are literally bankrupted and on life support thanks to the almost 100 billion dollars that they get from the fed every month with the QEs.

So If I have a large investment account or a large retirement account I would be transferring my money or changing my money into something more substantial or hard assets like gold or other precious metals.

The simplest solution for we the people at this point is, to unify the several states to become "The Several States United" or whatever trips your trigger, leave the 68.3 square miles of Washington DC as the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA to deal with THEIR bad business practices and whatever country who has a bone to pick with them! None of us put our name on any document or contract to assume responsibility for a debt they incurred. We simply divorce our self from this sham of a government.

Actually, this "TAG" program was known to be ending...

The Board of Directors of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) today approved a final rule to implement section 343 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act). Section 343 provides temporary unlimited coverage for noninterest-bearing transaction accounts. This separate coverage will become effective on December 31, 2010, and will end on December 31, 2012.

The final rule revises the FDIC’s deposit insurance regulations to include noninterest-bearing transaction accounts as a new temporary deposit insurance account category. All funds held in such accounts are fully insured, without limit, and this coverage is separate from, and in addition to, the coverage provided to depositors for other accounts at an insured depository institution.

Noninterest-bearing accounts, as defined in the Dodd-Frank Act, include only traditional, noninterest-bearing demand deposit (or checking) accounts that allow for an unlimited number of transfers and withdrawals at any time, whether held by a business, individual or other type of depositor.


Many argue that there is no more liquidity crisis to merit the continuation of the program, thus much of this wealth is simply being shuffled around to different account types - depending on the entity doing the shuffling.

The Fed seems to still be squeezing the money supply down (creating more power for them to wield with the politicians) ... as a result - money being scarcer - the poor will remain poor, the middle class will remain under their yolk, and the upper class will continue to play into the gimmick which takes the form of making money without producing anything ... It's the Fed's show ... it's called monetary policy and they rule us with it... thank you Democrat and Republican prostitutes.
