ParticipantKeep some serious cash on hand. The FDIC has a 100 Billion credit line it can draw from the Treasury but that will add to the immense debt offerings they are already selling. The fact of the matter is that the FDIC is going to take an insane amount of losses by not closing banks down when they should and eventually there may be no real insurance to cover deposits.
It’s a stretch expecting that the gov’t will not have the means to bail out the FDIC but it is possible.

ParticipantAs capeman pointed out, the FDIC will borrow the shortfall from the Treasury (We the People, that is). Then, in theory, the FDIC will levy increased deposit fees on the banks (as they are doing now on a regular basis) who will pay back the Treasury and replenish the fund over time. I think the Treasury will get paid back and the insurance fund will be replenished but it will take many years. And who will pay for this? Depositors, ultimately.

ParticipantMeans nothing.
If you want to be a worry wart, start looking at the bond rates like here: http://finance.yahoo.com/bonds
As long as you don’t see double digits, US treasury is not yet bankrupt and can borrow to replenish FDIC.
If you start seeing double digits, it is “red alert” time and you should convert your $ to other currencies or assets since the money will be rapidly losing value.
(Last time this “red alert” was reached was during 1979-85 see http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=^TYX&a=01&b=15&c=1977&d=07&e=25&f=2009&g=m&z=66&y=0 )
