US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen sought to reassure jittery investors that American bank deposits were safe and promised policymakers had more firepower to battle any crisis even as bank stocks resumed their slide

Too. Fuckin. Old. Retire PLEASE

She means the Fed will just print a few more trillion

Gaslighting

Safe..depends if systemic or not..safe..not safe…they keep waffling. We know congress has to increase the fdic limit. Just increase to 500k and come out w/ very consistent and strong messaging that all regional and community deposits are backstopped for the rest of the yr

So the banks are about to all melt

Thats what happens when democrats confuse old people home for the white house. We get a geriatric government with special needs taking the country with them to the afterlife.

Why this constant flip flopping? 1 day No next day Yes!

I don't want Ma Baker to have a heart attack but I'm beginning to think she only sees half of the situation, if that.

Ah. OK. I feel safe now. We all do. LOL.

100% safe ?
