Charles Gasparino is a longtime, respected and very well-connected financial reporter who is now on the Fox Business Network. He's also a conservative.
If you're a conservative, you might want to take a look at this Gasparino piece about the Elizabeth Warren vs. Jamie Dimon feud, in which he admits that Warren is on the right side of the issue on big banks:
In the Warren vs. Dimon Feud It s Warren Not Even Close - The Daily Beast
From the piece:
OK, uber-liberal Elizabeth Warren is no Adam Smith. But when it comes to one issue and maybe one issue only, she comes closer to the famed free-market economist than do most of the bankers on Wall Street, Jamie Dimon included. That issue involves the appropriate size and scope of the nation’s megabanks—JP Morgan, which Dimon runs, is the largest, but the other behemoths, Citigroup, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo, aren’t far behind in dimensions and most importantly risk.
Warren, the senator from Massachusetts and all-around big-bank hater, says these institutions should be broken up by the government out of fear that the system could implode as it did in 2008.
And:
My question: What free-marketer would allow the American taxpayer to subsidize Jamie Dimon’s risk-taking?
Gasparino's right. Warren is right. That's why the one "major" party ticket I'd vote for is Webb/Warren.
.
So I take it you're just fine with the amount of central government oversight, regulation and control under which those banks operate?Charles Gasparino is a longtime, respected and very well-connected financial reporter who is now on the Fox Business Network. He's also a conservative.

Answer: They won't

Your first mistake is to think a bank must be huge multinational conglomerate to compete with other huge multinational conglomerate banks.Charles Gasparino is a longtime, respected and very well-connected financial reporter who is now on the Fox Business Network. He's also a conservative.

That is a good first step.Update and reinstate Glass-Steagal......a substantial first step.
To think we need big banks with enormous power and political influence, is to not think.Your first mistake is to think a bank must be huge multinational conglomerate to compete with other huge multinational conglomerate banks.
Oh yeah, that's a mistake huh?
Every Economist worth a fuck in this Country feels exactly the same way.
Small Banks just can't compete with the Monstrosities that are bursting at the seams worldwide.
And, riddle me this, genius..... If 'Big' is 'Bad' how come China is kicking our brains out?
To the other poster about regulation......
After the shit storm of Financial Meltdown, I don't blame the goobermint for parking dozens of regulators INSIDE Banks.
They do, you know. They go to work at the same Bank everyday that the Bankers go to.
And I know that the CRA lit the fuse that led to Financial Meltdown.
I know that Fannie and Freddie (and the criminals Franklin Raines and Jamie Gore-Lick [yes, the same one of 9/11 fame]) were playing criminal games and getting rich in the process.
I know all that.
But the Banks themselves didn't HAVE to jump in Head First and try to outdo each other in seeing how many bad loans they could make and how much bad Paper they could sell to unsuspecting Foreign and Domestic Buyers.
In the mid 2000's, the Markets weren't doing all that great and Giant Investment Arms here and, especially, in Europe were looking for somewhere to put their money without much risk. They felt the Equities Markets were unstable.
The Big Banks, AND Fannie and Freddie, packaged some shit loans into Triple AAA Bonds and sold them as such.
But they weren't AAA. There was a great deal of SHIT in there.
And when those loans started defaulting ($300,000 Home Equity Loan on a $200,000 House......??) those bonds that the Banks (and Fannie and Freddie) were selling as AAA started defaulting.
Were the Big Banks completely at fault? Not totally. They were forced to buy a lot of that bad paper (CRA) but they KNEW what they were doing when they sold that SHIT paper as Triple 'A' and it wasn't
Long story. Really boring.
But yeah, they deserve to be monitored. Closely.
To think we need big banks with enormous power and political influence, is to not think.
We need to drastically reduce their size and influence. And even if doing so limits their ability to compete globally, so what?

You really are stupid.
But..... You're a liberturdian. The only living thing lower than a dimocrap.
At least dimocraps don't pretend to be something they're not. liberturdians pretend to be your friend then, as soon as you turn around, they stab you in the back.
You really are a stupid fuck.
Here's a simple assignment for you..... Look up "Economies Of Scale"
And no, I really don't want to hear back from you -- Ever
fucking moron
