Actually no, I don't believe that--you are exactly right: only congress has the ability to end TBTF and they have not done that, nor will they anytime soon.
The only thing I will press you on is that when Bernake says--the way things are now--there will be no more bailouts...
OK maybe he's not lying but if that's the case... then he's clueless. Of course there will. If congress/the president were serious about no bailouts, they would have legislated a situation where one would never be required.
Don't you agree?
