Again, what will Congress, EU, or other banks pumping money into failed institutions do about overpaid CEOs? I would not bail anybody out until they provide a statement of revised salaries.

This government can't even find enough money to pay out pensions. I'm not gonna believe them on this.

Taiwan government just declared this kind of protection a week ago.

Like previous PMs promised to protect pensions? And repatriate abductees? And to make Japan utsukshii? Aso, old boy, don't make promises you cannot keep! Ah, of course, there's an election looming!

If he goes for full protection I hope he remembers to lubricate the financial channels.

I'm surprised nobody has picked up the baton with a comment on deposits.
