8. How about the other 4900 banks that are raising fees to make up for losses?
Sheila Bair at the FDIC deserves special praise for her deft handling of the deposit bank crisis. It was the non-deposit banks, mortgage specialists like Countrywide, and AIG, FNM/FRE that regulators screwed up the worst.

I know you hate banks but privatizing them would have soaked up the little political capital POTUS had in 2009 and such policy had no support. Stimulus and health care came first - then FinReg.
