Vandenberg urges time deposit insurance plan in Senate
Senator Vandenberg proposes a federal time deposit insurance fund to calm runs and boost loans. He would define time deposits as at least 60 days, insure up to 15 percent, finance with 125 million dollars from the treasury, Fed surplus, and a one eighth of one percent tax on time deposits. He argues it would deter runs, free liquidity, and shift banking toward stability.
