Easy for Sheila to say because the Big Banks are backstopped by TARP and the “Too Big to Fail” doctrine. The Citis, Goldman Sachs and Bank of Americas contribute to the FDIC insurance fund but won’t ever call on its assets to compensate despositors. Sheila’s statement is nothing more than what might come out of the mouth of any self-interested bureaucrat — deflect attention to the other guys and get it off her watch.
