Whalen - No Bank is too Big to Fail

I'm fast becoming a fan of Chris Whalen of institutional Risk Analytics. He pulls no punches and talks common sense.

Unfortunately I think Whalen's points are falling on deaf ears. The quote below from Chris Whalen is one of the most salient statements I've heard in a long time:

We have got to stop pretending that size gives you a pass on economic reality
