Yes, the FDIC&#8217;s insurance fund relies on bank fees rather than directly on taxes, but those fees are obviously passed along to depositors nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>There are about 9.7 million people in Georgia according to the 2010 census, so the state has so far cost the FDIC approximately $830 per resident. That number is likely to double or triple before this crisis runs its course.<\/p>\n<!--CusAds0-->\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I mentioned that two more banks in Georgia had been closed by the FDIC.
