Poorly run businesses close their doors? Like banks and car factories?
I guess I should just trust the government's benevolence to bail out businesses when they feel thy should. No, wait, that's you.
Hundreds of banks have failed in the last few years: http://www.davemanuel.com/history-of-bank-failures-in-the-united-states.phpThe Federal Reserve was intended to be the "lender of last resort" and avoid bank runs. In 2008 we had a global run on the banks, and the potential for cratering the global financial system was real. If you want to use that once in a lifetime event to make your arguments, go ahead. I don't know how the Federal Reserve could ever realistically be considered a "lender of last resort". They are the primary (and really the only) lender for every bank in the country.

 The body knows what fighters don't: how to protect itself. A neck can only twist so far. Twist it just a hair more and the body says, "Hey, I'll take it from here because you obviously don't know what you're doing... Lie down now, rest, and we'll talk about this when you regain your senses." It's called the knockout mechanism.

Banks rarely go bankrupt, but when they do, the FDIC comes in and gives people their money. So people aren't really worried that their bank is going to go under with their money. Sept 2008 was a different story. When I cashed out a bunch of accounts, I put the proceeds into treasuries, which actually had a slightly negative yield as the global bank run intensified.

It receives no congressional appropriations and is funded by premiums from bank payments for deposit insurance coverage.

Given that the Fed can print money and buy the government's debt, supporting the FDIC is clearly doable.
