Talk:Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"To consumers in 1990, bank failures were ancient history—something they had heard of in a boring school lesson on the Depression, or something seen in a flickery old black-and-white documentary." How can this be the case, when S&Ls were collapsing in the 80s as well as the 90s? I'm not sure what the original author intended here, but by 1990, bank failures were well known and well noticed.

[edit] FDIC vs. FSLIC
Question from the main page: "How is the FSLIC different from the FDIC?"
Answer: The FSLIC was a predecessor institution, which collapsed in the late 1980s, that previously insured thrift institutions. Responsibility for both commercial bank and thrift deposit insurance now lies with the FDIC. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Akendall (talk • contribs) 17:56, 10 January 2007 (UTC).
[edit] Inception
Call me crazy, but I don't understand this sentence, I would re-write but I have no clue what it is talking about - The total of all deposits in all million and million banks that suspended 1989-99 was $896.886 billion; losses to depositers were $1.336 billion or 19% Robert Beck 19:35, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

I tried to resize but don't quite understand how the wikipedia code works so I couldn't do it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elsapo (talk • contribs) 18:20, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- This is an odd problem - it *looks* like it should be sized correctly, and until recently, it was. (Older versions of the page with the infobox are much too large now, though they were fine before. It's a display problem, not a vandalism or bad editing issue, and I'm not sure how to fix it either.) JohnInDC (talk) 18:25, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, it was systemwide. See Wikipedia:ClickFix. JohnInDC (talk) 21:51, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
