Since the FDIC deposit insurance fund was rolled into the general fund in the Johnson administration, the FDIC will have to ask the Treasury to borrow to pay back bank depositors.

I was not discussing their ability to make mortgages but the rate at which they would. if bankers see the 'risk-free' rate of lending for 10 yrs going up, are they going to hold mortgage rates steady?
