Bailout redux

The bailout, now with sweeteners!
  • An increase in the amount that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation will insure in bank accounts: to $250,000, up from $100,000
  • A fix that would prevent middle-class taxpayers from paying the alternative minimum tax
  • A number of tax extensions favored by either Republicans or Democrats
  • Tax exemptions for renewable energy
  • A measure that would require health insurers to treat mental health issues the same way they treat physical illnesses
