Do you realize that if the .gov backstops FDIC it will cause an INSTANTANEOUS bond market dislocation?
No more China buying our treasuries, no more debt financing.
It will cause the collapse of the .gov
And I promise you, what will come next you won't want
We are of like mind. This is all about politics now. The market is tanking because there is no confidence in Obama and his team.

Don't keep it in a Credit Union either. CUNA is just another name on the same turd.
Credit Unions were never hooked to the Fed. Govt and Reserve Bank, until the last 15 years. They are now not any different than a bank.
They do leveraged loaning just like banks.
In the good old days, they only lended out what was in deposits.

Im actually suprised that there hasnt been a run on the banks already.
People are still VERY much asleep at the wheel.
Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd is moving to allow the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. to temporarily borrow as much as $500 billion from the Treasury Department.
The Connecticut Democrat's effort -- which comes in response to urging from FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner -- would give the FDIC access to more money to rebuild its fund that insures consumers' deposits, which have been hard hit by a string of bank failures.
