The government has no need to keep giving money to the banks... and should stop doing so.
Deposit insurance is a 'silly' idea in that the government seeks to subsidise the (already powerful) banking sector. It is silly and not arrogant because the banks themselves are in a powerful position which means that in a sense the truth claim is coming from below. Other truth claims such as taxation are bad news for the recipient and clearly come from above. Taxation is not a gift to the recipient unlike deposit insurance which is good for banks.
