More bank failures coming

Bank failures, what an ominous portent; let us consider an alternative. Wade through the statistics of the experts and become confused as to who, what, where, why and how; but be assured that all share a commonality.... relieving both the investors and the banking industry, of the overwhelming feeling that there's just too little to go around. Although, this may sound naive, perhaps what is needed is the resurrection of the good old Bartering System? Successful big companies helping fledgling small companies; in turn, small companies hiring struggling individuals; all based on a commitment to mutual growth; an inexpensive swapping of skills and times. Hopefully, the sense of stability deriving from such actions, will free all concerned to invest. Slowly, consistently informed, and optimistically certain; businesses and individuals will prosper. Then, the banking industry, being no different than any other creature in nature; will weed out the weak and unnecessary, insuring their over-all survival.
