Who Backs Up The FDIC?
http://www.investopedia.com/articles/economics/08/fdic-insurance-dif.asp

The FDIC stated publicly in September of 2008 that it did not anticipate that there would be enough bank failures to deplete the $52 billion Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF).

This fund, composed of the premiums banks pay to have their deposits insured, is controlled by the FDIC.

If the DIF were to be depleted, the FDIC also has a $30 billion line of credit with the Department of Treasury and the federal government’s guarantee that if the FDIC exhausts its other options, the government will step in to provide further financial backing.

The FDIC could also borrow money from the Treasury in the form of short-term loans. This occurred during the savings & loan crisis in 1991, when the FDIC was forced to borrow several billion dollars from the Treasury.

Once Obamao revealed their base of operations it was all over for our heroes. The visit was a way of letting the world know where they lived.

TREASONOUS

Tue May 10, 2011, FDIC unveils retail foreign exchange rule
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/05/10/us-financial-regulation-fdic-idUSTRE7485IC20110510

The rule is required by last year’s Dodd-Frank financial oversight law.

“It’s really focused on the speculative activity that provides higher risk and for which additional consumer protections would seem justified,” said FDIC Vice Chairman Martin Gruenberg said.

Citigroup is among the largest banks that offer foreign exchange trading services to retail customers.

Retail customers are often individuals trying to make money by speculating on currency fluctuations. The requirements will limit how much they can borrow when making bets.

Under the rule, a retail customer is defined as someone who has less than $10 million in assets.

Newt vs Dav on MTP?
Normally it would be a great confrontation—uber liberal MSM tool against the smartest RINO in the drawer.
I think little Davey is going to go easy on him cause you know they are desperately in need of a RINO to win the nom or the Naked Marxist is toast.

I bet that ossified senile old Leftist Bob Schieffer asks Boner about sick puppies and crippled kitties.
Each tear out of that crybaby reduces his effectiveness and they know it.

It’ll be interesting to see if there is any substance, my take is Newt better step it up fast, and Mr Gregory’s questions will evade that

Opposite on Newt, I think he brings the realities that the media wishes to ignore, it’ll be interesting to see if he can get around that.

I'm going to go ahead and say that conservatives need to give Gingrich a hearing. I have changed my way of thinking about him, in view of the field of potentials we see emerging.

One thing I am giving up on is demanding perfection. I am going to try to think strategically about who I support to go up against the worst President in U S history.

This is not a beauty contest or a morality play. This is survival of the Republic. We have to decide, who is the most conservative candidate who can actually win.

I am going to, at the very least, listen to what he has to say.

Morning all, and thanks for the thread as usual AB.

Hope everyone is helping JimRob out, he needs a few more bucks to keep Freedom alive.

Newt has more baggage than a dozen muzzie porters can carry. Besides that he is too quick to compromise with Americas enemy--Demoncrats.

I can hardly wait for the exciting line-up on today’s shows. This promises to be nothing but breathtaking.

Crowley starts off with commentary that the Gov MUST raise the debt limit or ‘the end is near’ and we’re all gonna die.

But isn’t this the same state run media that told us there is no excitement in the Republican field of candidates?

Good morning. See nothing that enticing but Newt is always fun to watch even though his getting into this race seems nutty to me.
