Lets say that Barney Franks did **** up, what does that have to do with Newt Gingrich making a false claim? You fucktards are trying to distract.
If barney did "**** up" then was Gingrich making a false claim?
Agan you fucktard, Gingrich said that the Dodd-Frank bill is destroying community banks, that data show this claim to be false, ad-hominem attacks on Frank doesn't change the fact that Gingrich's claim being false. Dickhead.
Is that your moronic way of saying "No"? Here is some stuff from the dodd/frank bill to look at:
Community Banks' Savings From the Broadened Assessment Base May Be Short-lived:
By expanding the assessment base (from total domestic deposits to total assets less tangible capital) the cost of non-deposit funding rises. The banks that face the higher assessments will change their business plans, which will inevitably lead to a shift away from non-deposit funding sources toward deposit funding. Competition for deposits is likely to intensify, pushing deposit rates higher. Should that competition lead to a mere 5 basis point rise in deposit rates, the “static” savings for the typical community bank disappears. It also affects the availability and pricing of home loan bank advances as these are now subject to FDIC assessments. Thus, while the appeal of this change is understandable, the unintended consequences have the very real potential to lower or even eliminate the promised savings.
No Limit on Size of FDIC Insurance Fund:
The Dodd-Frank Act eliminates dividends whenever the deposit insurance fund (DIF) exceeds 1.35% of insured deposits and eliminates the hard cap (of 1.50%) on the size of the fund. It also gives the FDIC unrestricted authority to set a new “designated reserve ratio” or long-term target ratio above 1.50%. The bill raises the minimum level for the DIF to 1.35%, and does benefit banks under $10 billion by requiring larger banks to make up the gap from the old minimum of 1.15% to the new minimum of 1.35%. Smaller banks would continue to pay premiums, however, how this provision will be implemented is unknown. All banks would be required to keep the fund above the minimum and at the new designated reserve ratio wherever that is set.
Additional Cost of Higher Insurance Limits:
The Dodd-Frank Act does increase permanently the insurance limit to $250,000 and does extend the Transaction Account Guarantee (TAG) for two years. The permanent increase in the $250,000 coverage level, however, means that the reserve ratio of the fund (which is equal to the fund divided by insured deposits) is lower. Thus, the cost to attain even the old minimum of 1.15% is greater and the pace of the recapitalization is longer (unless the FDIC raises all premium rates to maintain the same schedule). The Congressional Budget Office “scored” this increase in premium income at $8.8 billion. How the FDIC will price the TAG program (which protects depositors in all institutions) is also unknown.
