Federal authorities are seriously considering protecting all uninsured deposits at Silicon Valley Bank

With your tax dollars

Here’s my proposal: fuck you, no.

Claw back the bonuses SVB gave staff HOURS before the collapse. Then we can talk.

@flexghost No bank bailout consideration until AFTER student loans are forgiven.

It took me over 25 years to pay off my student loans. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

@EmergencyJoe I love that attitude. Has there ever been a republican who showed empathy without having gone through something themselves? Seems like only one side is for the betterment of society

@flexghost Something about repubs, they are born on 3rd base and think they hit a homer. No. Repubs had every advantage or if they did not, like Paul Ryan, they insist on pulling up the ladder so no one but the rich can advance.

For the uninitiated, Paul Ryan's family was on welfare when he was young. He spent his entire time in Congress trying to destroy the social safety net. Hypocritical! And now he's on the board of Faux Nooz.

Agreed, only one side understands that oligarchy isn't the answer.

@EmergencyJoe well said. To that end, when they don’t get what they want, they truly feel disenfranchised from their perspective. For them to be on second base to start, instead of third is, in fact, a travesty to a Republican.

Paul Ryan's father was an alcoholic and an uncertain provider, but his grandfather was a large builder in the Janesville, WI area and Ryan inherited considerable money. His wife inherited even more. https://www.wsj.com/articleshttps://www.latimes.com/politics/la-xpm-2012-aug-12-la-pn-ryan-millionaire-20120811-story.html/BL-WB-35578
