Because frantic waves of bank withdrawals had directly contributed to the current crisis, he referred to money hoarding as “an exceedingly unfashionable pastime,” one driven by fear.

This critique of Van Buren, however, is overly harsh and misleading. Declaring that the panic was due to recklessness in business and overexpansion of credit, Van Buren devoted himself to maintaining the solvency of the national Government. He opposed not only the creation of a new Bank of the United States but also the placing of Government funds in state banks.

The American public began to exert their feelings of frustration with the occurrence of The Global Financial Crisis (GFC). Pointing the finger largely at Wall Street, Americans blamed the greed and corruption of financial institutions for inciting the crisis.
