> OT. Greenspan, Administration Oppose Doubling of Deposit Insurance

The last time this was done (late in the Carter adminstration), it was raised from $40,000 to $100,000 and resulted in the proliferation of brokered CDs. Many of the new S&Ls slapped together to suck up all the funds eventually went under resulting in the billion dollar bailouts.
