  3. 14/or to big counterparties of banks (ex: AIG) that the bailouts started.

  4. 13/also, New Century, 2nd biggest subprime lender in Jan 07, managed to fail that year w/o a bailout. It was when crisis spread to banks...

  5. 12/do liberals like Krugman think the Obama Admin engaged in an unfair shakedown of Wall Street banks?

  6. 11/ok I'm still obsessed. If the largest banks didn't cause the crisis, why did the Obama DOJ & the court system have them pay $110B?

  7. Hi new followers! I mostly tweet abt Wall St, podcast abt the same: keep dystopia light at:

  8. Retweeted
  9. 10/if anything, Lehman shows we need to break-up investment banks, too (tho few are left). Bankruptcy cannot handle them as they are now.

    "A minor flesh wound!"

  14. & we could have those break-ups, if only Fed would obey the standard set by Dodd-Frank in Section 165.

  15. & Yes, we have Dodd-Frank. I spend EVERY work day defending it. But big banks are even bigger than '08 & need breakups...

  16. Krugman 2009: Nationalize & restructure the banks! Krugman 2016: Breaking up banks is DUMB!

  17. 8/ that is a problem & anyone who tells you otherwise is deluded. *rant over*

  18. 6/ there are no more pure investment banks like there were pre-crisis, unless you count the likes of Jefferies & let's be real: nobody does.
