Two More Bank Failures This Week


The FDIC reports that two more banks failed this week - Security Savings Bank, Henderson, NV, and Heritage Community Bank, Glenwood, IL. That brings the total failures this year to 16. There were 25 bank failures in 2008. Looks like we are well on are way to surpassing that.

Mistakes, scandals, and failures no longer signal catastrophe. The crucial thing is that they be made credible, and that the public be made aware of the efforts being expended in that direction. The ''marketing'' immunity of governments is similar to that of the major brands of washing powder. --Jean Baudrillard
