		<description>Hi Greg,

I think it&#039;s useful to remember that the FDIC was originally created merely as a marketing ploy to give the people the ILLUSION that placing their money in a bank was a safe thing to do by providing &#039;insurance&#039; against loss.  This was necessary to entice those deposits in the first place.  After all, people remembered the lessons of the Great Depression that banks could and DID fail...

The &#039;mechanics&#039; of insuring those deposits were &#039;esoterica&#039; to most all depositors and, in general, remained &#039;behind the curtain&quot; and unexamined.  As long as the economy perked along, there were never any problems.

Today, as the $1.5 Quadrillion dollar Anti-Matter DebtStar goes Super-Nova and implodes -- suddenly we HAVE problems!  And now, those &#039;mechanics&#039; are being called on to perform.  Uh OH!

In a manner similar to the situation with mortgage-gate, where the bankers never considered that the real-estate market could fall and thus expose their fraud and malfeasance, suddenly &#039;mechanics&#039; are front-and-center.  Uh OH!

People need to start to notice the common thread running through all things financial.  The &#039;mechanics&#039; are all the same.  Now we hear that Social Security will be $45 Billion short this year...  Uh OH!</description>

		<description>This FDIC plan is by far the DUMBEST thing I have ever heard. The FDIC obtaining a loan from the banks the Federal Reserve propped up with our money to keep from failing? Have things progressed so close to the tipping point the government is afraid if the FDIC taps their credit line with the US Treasury it will send America over the edge?</description>
