Quote from regal_2012:

ask yourself, how many people actually have between 100K and 250K sitting in a bank account?95% of Americans dont even have 10K, and I think Im being conservative there.

20% of WMT shopper do not even have a checking account. true story.

Quote from ByLoSellHi:

Just so everyone knows - despite the great length and bullshit added to this 'new' bill, it's essentially the same old horseshit.

The only changes are that this new 450 pager contains provisions for tax credits (minor at that) for alternative energy and some other trivial things, and that it raises FDIC single account holder insurance from 100k to 250k.

they added 100B (or more) to lure House republicans in. amazing, 700B did not pass because that is too much money, but 800B is ok! 100B is "not offset with revenue increases or spending cuts elsewhere in the budget. "

No, they threw the $700b bailout into a $150b bill that the House passed back in March.

The media is botching this badly. Of course, that could work to our favor.

I hope it doesn't pass, but I'm not holding my breath on this.
