Should Banks Be Responsible For The Total Sum Of Money You Have In Their Banks?

Banks are only responsible for so much if they crash or go bankrupt. If you have more than that they cover you are out of luck. What do you think?

    If it is a FDIC Insured Bank then it is up to $250,000. Above that you are risking you cash! FDIC is the Federal Deposit Insurance Company and the limit was just raised from $100,000. They charge that much for a NSF check anymore!

      That is why rich people have more than one bank and tend to keep money over seas in other banks. It's just to risky taking the chance of loosing money knowing they will only replace so much of it and you are sol on the rest.
