Re: "how many U.S. banks... killed?" How many were put out of our misery during the LAST FINANCIAL CRASH that the US experienced, the Savings and Loan Crisis during the Reagan administration? <<< Just from memory here, I haven't bothered to look it up yet, (perhaps you will want to go to Google to do that, John? >>> I believe that the current list of failed financial institutions (from this latest financial crash) is something like 145 or so... still climbing of course! Most of them very small, as per utterly usual. While during the previous financial crash of 30 odd years ago the financial institution failures ran in many hundreds. (What was it? 400, 500, 600? Something like that, if memory serves.) This latest financial crash will have to run on for very much longer to ever hope of exceeding that high water mark.
