……… The Top Financial Regulator Might Actually Break Up ‘Too Big to Fail’ Banks

“During the 2008 financial crisis, Neel Kashkari worked tirelessly to save the nation’s largest banks. As a senior Treasury Department official in the George W. Bush and Obama administrations, he helped those banks grow larger than ever.
On Tuesday, he said it was time to think about breaking them up.
“I believe the biggest banks are still too big to fail and continue to pose a significant, ongoing risk to our economy,” Mr. Kashkari said at the Brookings Institution, delivering his first public speech as the new president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis.

He described the threat of another crisis that might force the government to bail out large banks, as it did in 2008, as a rare instance of a clear and preventable problem……….”

The truth is that in the sense of the size of the damage that their bankruptcy would cause, they are probably "too big to fail". But they are no worse and in a number of cases much less bad than a good count of countries.
 
Politicians will always basil them out so why should they worry? this was pointed out on MSNBC yesterday.

The Fed is the lender of last resort.
This change was made a century ago, it's implied that some banks are too big to fail.
That's the job of the Fed.

This isn't news.

May not be news to you but sure is news to all knowledgeable investors, taxpayers and folks concerned about the safety of the money in their bank accounts.........

Right, right.
Investors all over Wall Street are taking their money out, it's only a matter of minutes before it all crashes.
Most people with bank accounts have well below the FDIC insurance limit.

Our government will again, provide injections of capital to the largest banks in America, it will happen again.
It's supposed to happen.
