FDIC Fund Is Negative For 2nd Time In History

Beaverton : OR : USA | 2 months ago  
Views: 5

For the second time in history the FDIC fund has a negative amount of funding. It is getting so bad that the FDIC is asking banks to cough up much of what is needed to bring it back to even. The FDIC does not see the fund getting to even any time soon. Analysts predict that the FDIC will not be in good shape until after 2012.
