They were too big to fail before they destroyed our economy. But in 2007 US giant banks (>$100B in assets) held 49% of bank assets. Now they hold 56%. Their recklessness and greed triggered the Great Recession. Yet there have been no penalties, no effective regulation. They've simply been allowed to grow bigger and more dangerous than ever.
