No single financial institution should have holdings so extensive that its failure could send the world economy into crisis. If a bank is too big to fail, it is too big to exist.

(3,017 posts)2. Kashkari was a central figure in the 2008 financial crisis
He was regarded as one of the real brainiacs and oversaw TARP.
He is a REPUBLICAN who lost to Jerry Brown in the 2014 California governor's race. And he is a former Goldman Sachs executive. And he is with Bernie and to the left of Hillary on the issue of breaking up the too big to fail banks.

(3,017 posts)4. I know nothing about his campaign in California
But when a former Goldman Sachs employee who was in the middle of the financial meltdown says the big banks should be broken up, I'm inclined to put more weight on his opinion than on Hillary's.
