> Are you pretending FDIC covers more than 1% of all deposits?
It doesn't have to cover all of deposits, it has to cover failures. The chances of every bank in the country simultaneously collapsing is slim (and you've got bigger problems at that point than your balance). No one's lost a penny worth of FDIC-insured funds since 1933.
