6. Yeah, buddy - that helps....
To attempt to answer your question in a more serious manner, I am pretty sure the banks would either close their doors outright or put draconian withdrawal limits in place long before a serious percentage of deposits got away. I doubt such a thing is even legal but I don't think that would stop them.
But assuming we could get all our money out, the entire financial and monetary system as we currently know it would collapse, and take the US Dollar with it. We'd very likely return to a simple barter society.
Anyone think that's way off the mark? Chime in, please.

12. Probably "most" people don't have all that much IN banks
If you live paycheck to paycheck, "your" bank is little more than a clearinghouse that your money passes through, on its way to your creditors..
If you just cashed your check, you would have cashm but then you'd have to buy money orders or go plae to place, paying in cash..

I somehow doubt that "the banks" would be worried about 5000 or so DUmb****s each taking their 20 cents out . . . ::) :whatever:

Given what they consider to be rich I would say that figure is probably about on the mark.
Banks might even come out ahead as now they wouldn`t have to send out monthly statements that cost more to produce then what they showed for balances.

That lot of welfare queens (both male and female) have enough money to put in the banks?
Who knew?

Idiots.

Direct deposit. That way you don't have to leave the basement to cash that welfare check.

The banks would sorely miss that $12.50.
Seriously, though, for people that claim we are in a 'second great depression' they sure don't understand the causes of the first great depression. Does the term 'run on the bank' escape them?

History, just another of the DUmmies weak points. It's the same thing that leads them to believe that socialism will work , this time.
