President Bush and his administration are hopeful to turn the Nation's economic woes around as early as Wednesday, when senate leaders are now set to vote on a new rescue plan.

As Congress gets one step closer to passing a plan, local citizens are becoming worried about their own finances.

With the financial rollercoaster ride the U.S. has taken in the past few weeks, Jeff Krejci, Chairman of the Nebraska Bankers Association said many are becoming concerned with how the bumpy ride is affecting them.

"The everyday citizen is having trouble deciphering who this is, and what is happening. They're asking things like, "Am I covered?" "Do I have FDIC coverage?" They want us to assure them that their money's safe. They want us to assure them that FDIC has been around for 75 years. There's never been a dime lost with anyone insured by FDIC," said Krejci.

Krejci said thus far, Nebraskans have nothing to worry about.

"We're in Nebraska and in a bit of a garden spot right now. Our capital is strong in our banks. There's not a restriction of credit going on in the state of Nebraska. If you're concerned about what you're doing with your money, there's no safer place than a bank in Nebraska," said Krejci.

Bank customers like Tricia Branchaud said while she is not concerned with the affects on her personally, she and others are definitely ready for the bailout plan to pass.

"I think for the average person, it's just bigger than they can comprehend. We're talking about dollar amounts that don't make sense to people because they can't wrap their minds around it. I think people are trusting that it's going to be okay, but I think underneath worried, and hoping for some closure," said Branchaud.

Krejci said the sooner lawmakers come to an agreement on the rescue plan, the better.

"We think it's more important we have stability in the market right now, so that the credit on a global basis can be loosened up and not frozen, and help our economy stabilize," said Krejci.

Senate leaders have scheduled a vote for Wednesday on the $700 billion rescue plan.

Majority Leader Harry Reid and GOP Leader Mitch McConnel said they are going to add a tax cut package to the plan, which was already rejected by the house.

The Senate plan would also raise federal deposit insurance limits to $250,000 from $100,000.
