I can only wonder how many people know this.....and......if the banks will post it where people can see it.
=================================================

As of January 2013 the FDIC stops offering 100% coverage for all insured deposits. That amounts to $1.6 trillion in deposits, 85-90% deposited with the TBTF mega banks. Once the insurance ramps back to $250,000 the FDIC risk amelioration offered to large depositors will cause them to flee from the insecurity of the much reduced FDIC coverage. This money will rotate immediately into short term Treasury securities. The treasury, in order to handle this flood of money, will immediately offer negative interest rates. This financing will resemble the .5% negative interest rate offered by the Swiss and Germans on the funds flooding to their banks from Spain, Greece and Italy.
This will be a bank run much larger than the Euro banks flight to safety.

I have noticed two disturbing matters that will most certainly come as a result of the Fed MBS program.
1. The funds from the Fed purchases will rotate to the Too Big To Fail Banks. This debt is already junk bond status due to the nature of the underwater mortgages and delinquencies, hence the reason for the new Fed goon Squad going after borrowers.
This debt will be as bad or worse than the debt of Greece, Spain and Italy, rated CCC-

2. The banks receiving these funds will rotate the money immediately into short term treasury securities that will be priced at NIRP. the reason for that follows:

3. As of January 2013 the FDIC stops offering 100% coverage for all insured deposits. That amounts to $1.6 trillion in deposits, 85-90% deposited with the TBTF mega banks. Once the insurance ramps back to $250,000 the FDIC risk amelioration offered to large depositors will cause them to flee from the insecurity of the much reduced FDIC coverage. This money will rotate immediately into short term Treasury securities. The treasury, in order to handle this flood of money, will immediately offer negative interest rates. This financing will resemble the .5% negative interest rate offered by the Swiss and Germans on the funds flooding to their banks from Spain, Greece and Italy. This will be a bank run much larger that the Euro banks flight to safety.

4. The Social Security Trust fund must make at least 5-6% return to maintain its balance and provide income to the SS recipients. The TF is still guaranteed to go bankrupt by 2033, 21 years from now. The TF is required by law to invest in Treasury bonds. The actuarial problem now facing the TF is that they will be rolling old bonds yielding 5.6% into a yield pool averaging 1.4%, a 75% drop in income. This dramatic yield drop coupled with a 60% increase in SS recipients from 50 million to 91 million in the next 10 years will assure the TF will go bankrupt in about 10 years.

This irreducible math is going to prove an insurmountable obstacle to those who are recently retired, have long live genes or plan to retire in the next 10 years. If the SS TF goes bankrupt then benefits will be cut by 25% . Inflation adjustments were never able to front run the lost in income. The inflation rate of 8% today and 15% tomorrow will destroy the senior investment pool.
Another few unintended consequences of QE 3. Thanks Ben. May you rot in hell!

This is all a bunch of crapola. The FDIC was set up as a 'feel good' program--not to insure any depositors against a systemic failure. When we start getting hit by inflation, whatever their per account insurance limit will be pocket change. It's there to make you feel like your money is safe while the Fed steals its value through inflation.

There is no such thing as a bank run any more. Banks don't need your deposits. They can borrow money from the Fed if you want to take your money out of their bank. The banks are insured by 'public policy' AKA bailouts. You are insured by a token government agency that has no money. They will get a bailout. You won't.

You can get much better insurance if you take your money out of the banks and buy some PMs. Low bank balances are the order of the day. See how long the banks can go on with close to zero deposits.

Hatha is essentially right. It's akin to what Greenspan said about Social Security: "Don't worry, we will guarantee you'll get your full amount. We just can't guarantee its purchasing power." The same thing applies to your deposits. What's amazing is that he vocalized the scam in broad daylight, and he got away with it because people could not grasp what he was saying.

The FDIC was set up to protect banks, not depositors. It basically allowed banks to steal money, run their business into the ground, pay themselves lots of money, have the Feds bail them out, then rinse and repeat.

It could mean the end of the non Too Big To Fail banks though who don't have an automatic money spigot from the Federal Reserve... The FDIC insurance policy of all funds covered probably prevented people with over $250.000 to do a run on these banks... See what happens as upper middle class people starts losing their life savings as their local banks goes under...

I agree, letting this happen isn't about the feel good policy or not. It would be used as a tool to consolidate banks and steal from social security (or maybe it would do other things). Perhaps they will renew it, but we can see a window of opportunity for them to do some kind of play.

Regardless of as how it plays out, "they" will let depositors down at some point, "they" have done this to every country... USA is next on the list.

Exactly. The FDIC was not created to protect the consumer, it was created to allow the banks to gamble with the depositor's money without their knowledge or consent, and not bear any losses if the gamble goes bad.

They will guarantee the Social Security but not what it will buy....milk $200.00 a gallon, bread $150.00 a loaf.......hell nothing left for anything else.......but of course......with milk at $200.00 then one oz silver will be $3,500, I can live with that.
