The House of Representatives Freedom Caucus said in a statement on Monday that they oppose bailing out the banking industry for what should be seen as a failure of regulators not to anticipate the next crisis.
“The House Freedom Caucus continues to stand with America’s forgotten men and women, and Americans end up with government bailouts — especially when they are caused by the government’s own policies, apparent regulatory failures, and apparent management incompetence,” the group of conservative House lawmakers said in a statement. written.
House conservatives argued that excessive spending under President Joe Biden and “mismanaged” monetary policy by the Federal Reserve created the conditions for the banking crisis that began with the collapse of Silicon Valley. They also called on the Federal Reserve to end the Bank Term Financing Program, a program creature by the Federal Reserve to ensure banks can meet depositors’ needs, although some critics might call it a bailout.

In response to questioning by Senator James Lankford, Yellen admitted that as the government responds to the banking crisis, large depositors are more likely to go to larger institutions that will have government support over smaller banks, which will not have government protection.
“Look, I mean, that’s definitely not something we’d encourage,” Yellen said.
During a Senate Finance Committee hearing, Yellen said that Chinese investors affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party might be included as part of the government’s bailout for the Silicon Valley bank:
