...Many of their Republican counterparts are equally ambivalent, even with the tax sweeteners and an increase in the maximum amount of bank deposits insured by the FDIC, from $100,000 to $250,000. But several influential conservative Republicans who oppposed the first bill, like John Shaddeg of Arizona and Zach Wamp of Tennessee, have signaled that they will reluctantly support the new Senate version.
