This is I think genuinely unpopular opinion but the government should encourage mergers of large regional banks so as to create a few more true giants. Then let a thousand truly small banks bloom with a lighter regulatory touch. — PolitiTweet.org

If you combine the 30th through 50th largest banks in the country you get an entity with $1.4 trillion in assets that credibly competes with the Big Four. Apply the same principle and you could have a dozen or more giant banks and robust competition. — PolitiTweet.org
