"The answer may be to say to the banks, either we’ll break you up once we’re through this crisis, so none of you become too big to fail, or to say, we agree to some type of guarantee, but in return, you will be securely regulated. There will be stronger ongoing stress tests, and limits to your activities. 
It doesn’t make sense: heads you win, tails we bail you out.
"
-David Tabak
