What are your thoughts on the FDIC?

Yes! They are responsible for doing their job and insuring my money
Nope! They are a government agency and not responsible for anything.
I don't live in America so I could care less.

For those who don't know the FDIC, Federal Deposit Insurance Company, is owned by the government and is there to protect your money up to $250,000 per account. This organization was formed after the great depression of the 1930's to insure that people never lost their life savings again. Yesterday I was talking with another user who feels that the FDIC is more of a suggestion and is not responsible for guaranteeing you money at all if your bank fails. What are your thoughts on this?

If there are massive bank failures then there’s a chance that they won’t have the $ to cover all accounts at that insured amount. Read something about this a few years ago.
