Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

A tricky question. The FDIC does that although, officially, it still applies only to the 100,000 limit. Probably, the idea is that the cost to one depositor is unbearable relative to the small cost we all need to pay as a collective. Also, there are the issues of political pressure and avoiding blaming the government for mismanaging the safe guards.
