Worst still to come?While the world's largest banks were able to avail themselves of bailout money provided at taxpayer expense, many regional and community banks were left to fend for themselves. Crushed under the weight of delinquent loans due to unemployment and crashing home values, and overextended with too much easy credit, smaller local banks have simply been unable to cover their assets. The cascading bank failures have also severely depleted the FDIC's deposit insurance fund, which chairwoman Sheila Bair said would be in the red through 2012 at least. She also predicted that the U.S. would see more bank failures through the remainder of 2009 and into 2010. Report Your Experience
