“Most Americans would not be directly affected if North Dakota decided to seize citizens’ money in order to pay its bills, but all Americans would be deeply disturbed by such an action. The principle of the matter couldn’t be clearer; outright theft is wrong. But it’d probably be fear, not principle, that would have people heading for their banks in droves to withdraw cash as fast as possible. People not living in Europe should not kid themselves into thinking that this is just a European problem. With a fractional reserve banking system, it doesn’t take a majority of bank depositors to decide to withdraw their cash to put their banks out of business.”
