too big too fail? If a financial company is deemed too big to fail, the remedy seems simple: Break it up. Make the bank small enough that even if casino-type investments lead to crisis, it will not threaten the entire financial system. And dont let any financial giant super-size in the future.

America is too big not to fail.The problem with being too big is when you find out you are failing,it is too late until you hit bottom.And with the way our government is selling out,we will hit bottom pretty soon.But unfortunately the taxpayers will pay while the fat cats in Washington DC will get paid.

I wouldn't break them up, but I'd let them fail in a controlled manner. If the become insolvent, the gov't should take them over, guarantee the depositor as promised, and wind down/sell off the business in chunks. This is what should have been done to Citi and BofA.
