  "But the biggest banks are also watching in frustration as longtime clients spread their business, and their deposits, among multiple other banks."
  
  Well if they want to keep more of their customers money how about paying higher interests on deposits and charging lower interest on loans and fees etc? Oh do they think that just because they co-opted the government and the taxpayers money they also have the right to unlimited amounts of the private money too?

  So we should accept 0.05% interest rates and the risk of having no FDIC insurance? Unlike banks, savvy individuals try to minimize risk and maximize reward. Banks are stupid and we are onto there evil and greedy ways....hehe.

  Small businesses worried about survival should do the same thing. They also shouldn't rely on a single bank for a line of credit.
