Senate bill will include higher FDIC limit

The bailout bill expected to be passed by the Senate tomorrow would raise the limit on deposits insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Commission (FDIC) from $100,000 to $250,000.

Timeline:
Barack Obama endorses this idea:  September 30 (early)
John McCain endorses this idea: September 30 (after hearing that Obama had done it)

I stole the idea from Americablog, which stole it from a reader... but still, reading this blog is like reading next week's newspaper today.  If there are still newspapers.  Sarah Palin certainly can't name any.
