Fallacy of so called guarantee of bank deposits by law
Walter W. Head president of the American Bankers Association argues against state bank deposit guaranty plans begun in Oklahoma in 1909. He traces the rise and collapse of Oklahoma’s fund during 1907 to 1923, noting failed premiums, state charter withdrawals, and the unsustainability of insurance rather than true guaranty. He warns similar moves in other states and Congress undermine integrity and sound economics.
