Socialized losses. It fixes the liquidity problem because these banks deposits are 100% guaranteed but does nothing to fix the solvency problem that’s going to pop up eventually. There are a bunch of banks that are now effectively insolvent with no mechanism to force a liquidation. Moral hazard 2.0. Also everyone now pays more for insurance on fdic not doing their job.
