I'm really hoping congress approves FDIC's request. It would be a great sign of relief for individuals who have accts over $100K.

i don't know if it's a good thing or not to raise the FDIC limit - but i guess for people who have managed to save more than $100k - it's a safety net that they will like. i'm just nervous about what the impact it will have on the ecomony if they need to cash in on that.
