FDIC is simply a promise made by politicial liars, just like SS and MC - which won't pay out nearly what people put in going forward (special interests already stole the actually taxes paid). smart people will begin to fear that their life savings are at risk and they will value hard assets that aren't easily stolen form them. in my case, i paid down our home - the location of skeeter's last stand is now written in stone. ;-) i will likely begin to accumulate silver as the deflationary wave begins to hit in earnest - like 2008, perhaps 2008 on steroids as all confidence is lost in the bullsh*t system that is sheering the sheeple for every dollar the kleptocrats can steal.
