Listening to America's Trucker's Network on radio and the host said the AP has a story where the Fed will halt bailouts after Frannie Mae and Freddie Mac. If this happens and there is a run, we will have a bank run if the news gets out. Truckers network on 700 WLW AM CINCINNATI.

Maybe this is the reason
It is a very long article, but truly one of the best I've read. This is a paragraph that's within the article. The litigation that is going on in this country against banks is unbelievable with more to come.

Putting the Genie Back in the Bottle
So what would happen if the mega-banks engaging in these irresponsible practices actually went bankrupt? These banks are widely acknowledged to be at fault, but they expect to be bailed out by the Federal Reserve or the taxpayers because they are “too big to fail.” The argument is that if they were allowed to collapse, they would take the economy down with them. That is the fear, but it is not actually true. We do need a ready source of credit, so we need banks; but we don’t need private banks. It is a little-known, well-concealed fact that banks do not lend their own money or even their depositors’ money. They actually create the money they lend; and creating money is properly a public, not a private, function. The Constitution delegates the power to create money to Congress and only to Congress.12 In making loans, banks are merely extending credit; and the proper agency for extending “the full faith and credit of the United States” is the United States itself
We really need to solve the problem
And outlaw banks lending out 10 times more money than they actually have.
If anyone else charged interest on something they didn't own, or fraudulently got a loan on something that did not exist, they would go to jail.
Why are bankers treated any different? If a bank has $1000, they are allowed to loan out $10,000.
It's truly incredible that this happens, it's pure fraud, yet every day practice in banking.
