Right, the FDIC is likely to experience more strain, but I don't think it's in any danger of failing to meet its obligation because it has other resources at its disposal if it needs them, like you and me and our tax dollars.
I have no doubt that we're all going to be affected, but I don't think that we need to worry about our FDIC insured funds particularly.
