Also, keep in mind that when I said "on the brink of collapse", I mean a scenario in which a bank doesn't haven't enough money to deposit money to the people (those who put money in the bank) simply because the bank has been handing out loans and and such. There are many other reasons why banks fail but this is simply one (I'm terrible at explaining things so). Any 2008 flashbacks anyone?

 
I depends on the situation and how irresponsible each bank has been.

I really hate banks and think they should all die. They have this zero risk thing that doesn't benefit the economy. It's just a giant Ponzi scheme, except that everyone is so deep into it that they'd all lose out without the banks.

Investment could work completely fine without bank loans. Venture capitalists don't get their money back on a risky investment, why should banks?

 
Well I would say banks should face responsiblility, but I agree with FDIC which insures people who use the bank up to 250k dollars in case a bank fails. I voted yes cause we did it in 2008 and no bank runs occured (Or atleast I think none).

 
I say that if they get bailed out they should have to pay it back and after multiple occasions have to pay like 10% more back and then if even more occur, it would be shut down, but really the government should own them anyway
