The current FDIC insurance limit for a joint (husband and wife) non-
retirement account is $200K. For a single owner it would be $100K. If
the bailout passes, the limits for joint and individual non-retirement
accounts will be $500K and $250K . Correct?

I heard it would be for just one year. In other words, not to make it more
convenient for responsible people, but only to bail out irresponsible people
that were too stupid or lazy to keep within the present limits.
