well if they don't like it, they can go back to the days when they lent out their own damn deposits, instead of being subsidized by the government by a fractional reserve system.

this way they'd have to pay attention to how they treated their customers, because they'd need deposits, and they'd have to pay more attention to who they loaned money to.

unfortunately this doesn't create money fast enough for Wall Street.
