^ Yes more banks (small banks) will be going down. Many will be absorbed by more solvent and stronger (and often bigger) banks.

Below is an article about another "stimulus" check sent out to US taxpayers. I didn't know this was happening. Apparently it's for $250 USD. I don't see the point in this. And as usual, check are being sent out to dead people, costing losses of millions of dollars:

Dead People Get Stimulus
Checks

MYFOXNY.COM - This week, thousands of people are getting stimulus checks in the mail. The problem is that a lot of them are dead. A Long Island woman was shocked when she checked the mail and received a letter from the U.S. Treasury -- but it wasn't for her.


Antoniette Santopadre of Valley Stream was expecting a $250 stimulus check. But when her son finally opened it, they saw that the check was made out to her father, Romolo Romonini, who died in Italy 34 years ago. He'd been a U.S. citizen when he left for Italy in 1933, but only returned to the United Stated for a seven-month visit in 1969.
