Because it's the psychology of being a small business owner seeing the headlines that you could instantly lose all money for your business over $250k in bank. You could wake up the next day and have $0 to pay your employees, buy supplies, and pay your rent. It only takes one domino to fall to start the panic. Then another bank fails, and then another. Soon we have a full on nation wide bank run that sends us back to 40% unemployment like the Great Depression. Does fear and greed ever make rational sense? It doesn't have to, but it can happen when people start to panic.
Did the small business owners think that FDIC insurance was just pretend?
Why should these people get a bail out over any other group of people who have last money for some other reason.
It's amazing to me that some of the most vocal people i have seen out there loudly demanding handouts are people who I have also seen being completely hostile towards other forms of government assistance. I guess it's different when the money goes to them.
Are you stupid? What if you have $10M to run a small business? Where are you going to put the cash? Under your mattress? Into 40 bank accounts? What if you have $20M to run your small company? 80 bank accounts?
The people being harmed are depositors, nitwit. They're not some kind of scheming wall street banker. They are businesses that have to pay employees their salaries, health care
, etc.
If you want to collapse the economy and send unemployment up to 40%, this is a great way to do it.
Then why didn't they obtain insurance for deposits over $250k?
People who were fully aware that the FDIC limit was $250k shouldn't suddenly be acting surprised that the payout will be $250k.

I’m glad Yellen and not DCUM posters are in charge. I’m confident that Treasury and the FDIC will contain this responsibly.

You are a small business owner in CA? I’m a small business owner (maybe more midsize now)in MD but I don’t fear a collapse. If you are that concerned, diversify your bank accounts.
You, personally may not fear a collapse, but Sandy Spring bank in Maryland has now been flagged as having a similar risk as SVB, if you didn't know. How many local businesses have their money in Sandy Springs? It's not easy to diversify your bank accounts when you have several million dollars or more for your company and you don't have an army of accountants at your small company to keep track of all of the finances. It also makes financial reporting exponentially harder. Also, it's not just business owners in CA harmed by the failure of SVB. Many companies across the country had used SVB for starting their companies. Small time biotechs, for example, used SVB a ton for financing and banking. They're all over from Boston, to Research Triangle, to even this area.

Keep in mind, this i only happening because Trump totally gutted regulations that would have prevented this from happening. So we are going to get a massive bailout for Silicon Valley Bank and yet people complain about a few thousand dollars in bailouts for student loans.
For one, the FDIC already took over the bank around 24 hours ago
Two, this is not caused by Trump gutting regulations. The cause was interest rate risk- recall people deposit money at banks and they turn around and lend money, in this case in the form of MBS and treasuries. The fed kept interest rates too low for too long and then they hiked rates precipitously, which caused huge losses for the bank on those securities that were purchased when interest rates were much lower
Disagree. Trump gutted Dodd-Frank that would have protected against this.

The gov is guilty of mismanagement too.

Government debt is an entirely different beast than commercial bank or company debt. Come on now, you can’t be that ignorant.
