If the Feds stand by, and maybe raise, the FDIC insurance on bank
savings, which I think likely, then the issue is what other funds that
the common people have that might be in jeopardy. If those close to
retirement have substantial funds in 401ks holding stock, then I guess
it depends on what companies are allowed to fail and let the
shareholders be wiped out. If it is "them," then it doesn't hurt. If
it is you, your siblings or your parents, it will be painful.
As with taxes, it depends on whose ox is being gored.
