It is amazing the way these things get twisted out of shape. The FDIC is not broke and is niot asking for more money to cover the failures, it is asking to raise the amount of money they can insure in the event of a bank failure. Right now its $100,00 per depositor, they want to raise that to $200,000 or $250,000. The money for the average saver is SAFE. The Senate bill they are now working on does in fact raise the amount the FDIC will insure..
