Out-of-the-box thinking is indeed needed. But it is curious to me that Trump would select the FDIC, of all bank regulators, to eliminate. FSLIC was eliminated during the S&L crisis (late 80s, to you youngsters), placing all deposit insurance for banks under one umbrella (excluding credit unions). Is this focus on the FDIC a result of the terrible report on the toxic workplace culture issued within the past year? Gruenberg announced he would step down when a new Chairman was named, Biden failed to do so.

Yes, some other agency could manage deposit insurance. But separating that function from declaring a bank insolvency and managing the "sale" of the failed institution, which is intimately related to insured deposits, seems the wrong decision.
