They are currently building another Chase within 10 blocks of my house. They have already built one other, and opened another in a strip plaza.

The one they built last year looks like a night club. Very insulting. "Crushing Our Homes While Building Your Own" was a campaign I wanted to do a while back, but never got around to it.

There is more and more support to break up the TBTF banks. From policy experts, economists and politicians. Most recently the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.

TBTF should be dismantled piece by piece and GS reinstated. It will have to be done carefully so as not to cause a shit storm in the economy. After the orderly breakup it will be responsibly possible for indictments of the fraud that caused the crisis. To do so now would be highly irresponsible as the big Wall Street banks control like 70% of the wealth of the country. With at least $200 trillion in derivatives. That is like 3 times the value of the entire world economy.
