RE:"Texas was "Ground Zero" for the S&L meltdown of the '80's, was it not? <G>"

Some bank in Vernon, Texas comes to mind. And one in Corinth, Mississippi. Those were the days for fixed income.

Indeed Texas was ground zero in the last savings and loan and bank collapse, particularly those which were state chartered.

But I think FDIC banks should be regulated the same in every state, although there's a possibility I may be wrong about that.
