Senator Tim Scott, R-S.C., sounds the alarm on the Biden administration's decision to insure all deposits following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.
In a joint statement released Sunday afternoon, Secretary of the Treasury Janet L. Yellen, Federal Reserve Board Chair Jerome H. Powell, and FDIC Chairman Martin J. Gruenberg announced "decisive actions" to guarantee all deposits, including the uninsured funds. Christopher Lopez is a digital production assistant for Fox News Digital. He joined Fox News in 2021.
"Today we are taking decisive actions to protect the U.S. economy by strengthening public confidence in our banking system," the joint statement read. "This step will ensure that the U.S. banking system continues to perform its vital roles of protecting deposits and providing access to credit to households and businesses in a manner that promotes strong and sustainable economic growth."
