Here is a link sent by one of my worldview students. It seemed apropos because we have just finished studying 1984 and Animal Farm. It is a short cartoon lampooning communism. Thanks, Zach!

FDIC Chief Fears Fund Insolvency

WASHINGTON — The head of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. has warned that the fund insuring Americans’ bank deposits could be wiped out this year without the money the agency is seeking in new fees from U.S. banks and thrifts.
FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair acknowledged, in a letter this week to bank CEOs, that the new increased fees and hefty emergency premium the agency voted to levy last week will bring a “significant expense” to banks. But given the accelerating bank failures that have been depleting the deposit insurance fund, she said, it “could become insolvent this year.”
