Jon Favreau @jonfavs

@nycsouthpaw Yeah, I'm not either. I think VCs and SVB forced the government to choose the best bad option, and clearly this is socializing losses, but the cost is relatively minimal compared to the risk of not acting and backstopped by a big bank-financed gov fund. And that's not spin. — PolitiTweet.org

Jon Favreau @jonfavs

@nycsouthpaw 4) But I don’t think that means we should’ve risked a broader run on small and mid-size banks or a bunch of layoffs at start-ups and small businesses - particular when the cost of doing so is small and from a fund that’s financed by big banks. — PolitiTweet.org

Jon Favreau @jonfavs

@nycsouthpaw 3) You didn’t ask, but I also fault rich VC assholes for SVB’s collapse, and they almost caused a broader bank run. They also fought, along with Rs and some Ds, better oversight of SVB-size banks. Fuck them for that. — PolitiTweet.org

Jon Favreau @jonfavs

@nycsouthpaw Happy to answer these since the only thing I regret right now is trying to make a nuanced and complicated argument on Twitter: 1) I think there’s a good argument to be made for raising the FDIC insurance cap that a lot of very progressive policy folks have made this weekend — PolitiTweet.org

Jon Favreau @jonfavs

@nycsouthpaw I realize it’s comforting to tell ourselves a neat little story about how only rich VC assholes were affected here, but the facts pretty clearly say otherwise. Plenty of reporting on this in just about every news outlet — PolitiTweet.org

Jon Favreau @jonfavs

@nycsouthpaw So your argument is that taxing banks will only lead to higher costs for consumers, but letting a bunch of start-ups and small businesses go bankrupt won’t lead to lots of layoffs and a broader bank run that could affect millions? — PolitiTweet.org

Jon Favreau @jonfavs

@nycsouthpaw Guess we might as well not tax or regulate big banks then, seeing as they’ll just pass the costs onto consumers (which just happens to be the argument made by…banks and free market conservatives) — PolitiTweet.org
