Axios: Midsize banks plead for unlimited FDIC backstop for two years
A coalition of midsize U.S. banks is calling on the government to insure all deposits for the next two years, in the wake of Silicon Valley Bank's emergency rescue that insured all of the firm's deposits regardless of size.
Driving the news: The Mid-Size Bank Coalition of America sent a letter to regulators arguing that a temporary suspension of the FDIC's deposit insurance limit is necessary to ensure that smaller banks can navigate the current banking crisis, Bloomberg reported.
* "Doing so will immediately halt the exodus of deposits from smaller banks, stabilize the banking sector and greatly reduce chances of more bank failures," the letter said, according to Bloomberg.
* Tesla CEO Elon Musk also endorsed the idea in a Twitter post early Saturday, saying the move was needed to "stop bank runs."

As to what do I expect next. The Biden administration has no choice. They will do everything in their power to make sure the banking system does not collapse. That is why I expect massive bailouts, a return to quantitative easing, and money printing. And while the banking system will be saved, high inflation is going to be the result for years to come.
