There is a bank robber in Denver Colorado named the Limping Latex Bandit who has over the past few months robbed multiple banks and I find myself CHEERING him on! I have decided to join the unlimited number of American citizens who appear to have an endless tolerance for individuals or institutions to steal from them.

I wish anyone the best of luck (as long as no one is physically harmed) who decides to go into any financial institution and take as much us treasury currency as they feel they have a right or need of and hand back to that institution a piece of paper with the sum that you’ve rightfully received written on it…after all, its all fungible.

I wish there more general agreement on this.

Incidentally, the paragraph following the one I pulled makes a lot more sense when it’s clear that you’ve said exactly the opposite of what you meant. It’s false for Allison to disagree that TBTF banks “benefit from the assumption that the government would step in to prevent their failure” — as he did, according to the article.

I can imagine people wanting to pretend that we’re not going to backstop these large institutions, but I think there’s more upside than downside to adding clarity as to who we’re going to backstop and how, rather than make everyone who disbelieves false assurances guess who exactly is allowed to fail how badly and in what way.
