Not the taxpayers, all the other banks which are funding FDIC have to pay:

> Any losses to the Deposit Insurance Fund to support uninsured depositors will be recovered by a special assessment on banks, as required by law.

So even those that were not insured will now be retroactively insured, and the better-run banks will have to pay for it, won't they?



There aren't any losses to the deposit insurance fund yet. If this increases confidence then it will instead reduce how much is taken from it.
