@paulg I'm not trolling, I'm listening to venture capitalists tell me what a big deal this would be for their businesses and for the American economy so I'm trying to think of reasonable solutions. — PolitiTweet.org

@paulg Does a consortium of VC firms want to put up the capital to buy SVB and guarantee the non-insured deposits?

My 2018 article about how the Trump administration's rollback of Dodd-Frank rules for large regional banks was sowing the seeds of the next financial crisis did not get a lot of clicks at the time I wrote it. https://t.co/THGdhaPfyQ — PolitiTweet.org

Fed’s vice chair for supervision has been talking for years about how Trump-era rollback of regulation on large regional banks was a bad idea. https://t.co/6dHEneGMzD — PolitiTweet.org

Yes! RDS fans like to say that the left is afraid of him. And indeed his agenda of cutting Medicaid, privatizing Social Security, deregulating the banking industry, cutting taxes for the rich, and winning elections by not talking about any of this is genuinely alarming. — PolitiTweet.org

Bringing those kind of smart business professionals’ insights into the market could produce a better outcome than relying purely on government bureaucrats. But it does seem like that’s probably wrong and we should just expand deposit insurance and raise fees. — PolitiTweet.org

Why is the insurance limit relatively low at $250k? The multiple accounts approach works for Giannis but as @mcuban says it’s not very practical for a business. What I read in a textbook is that the hope is savvy businessmen will have time and inclination for due diligence. — PolitiTweet.org

Instead Sacks is out here begging and pleading for active public policy measures to avoid that. And I sympathize! Minimizing downside risk of mass unemployment is in fact more important than minimizing inflation. But that’s exactly the logic Powell/Yellen used in 2021. — PolitiTweet.org

Suppose your only policy concern right now was inflation, what would you do? Well you’d wipe out SVB’s uninsured depositors because whatever possible downside that would have it would absolutely be disinflationary. — PolitiTweet.org

tl;dr though is that the FDIC’s first choice by far is the sell the hypothetical large regional bank to one of the country’s largest banks — SVB appears to have a good franchise people would want and you can buy it “for free” if you guarantee the deposits https://t.co/QE3j2MZ9dE — PolitiTweet.org
