Who Backs Up The FDIC?

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
Hopefully she'll excoriate nobama and his NLRB union thugs vis Boeing.

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.
Oops.
It looks like all Republican TV today. Save Dick Turbin.
Except for Brit Hume,FNS is going to be a jaw cracking yawn.
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
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.
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.
Morning all and thanks for the thread AB.
I can hardly wait for the exciting line-up on today’s shows. This promises to be nothing but breathtaking.
CNN SOTU
Crowley starts off with commentary that the Gov MUST raise the debt limit or ‘the end is near’ and we’re all gonna die.
Huckabee: “I would have made a fine president.”
But isn’t this the same state run media that told us there is no excitement in the Republican field of candidates?
In other words its all on the taxpayers.
Good morning. See nothing that enticing but Newt is always fun to watch even though his getting into this race seems nutty to me.
Newt is starting out slow talking about all these ‘crossroads’
