i wasn't sure what diane was saying, but i think one thing we have to remember is if you don't have prudential supervision, you're going to have banking crises. that was the lesson we learned from japan and other countries and a lesson we learned when the banking system outstripped banking regulation and we ended up with that shadow of a banking sector that wasn't regulated for safety and soundness. >> i agree we need to have sound regulation, consistent regulation. we don't want some firms escaping into a different kind of regulator when they're doing the same things. we need to be regulating the credit default swaps which are what caused the crisis. we still have not subjected them to any regulation. but if a firm goes under, we should let it go under. we have a process to unwind it. it's called bankruptcy where different players in the market pick up the pieces, and what we don't need is a special system to take assets away from the creditors and shareholders the way they did in the gm and chrysler bankruptcies and then hand them over to campaign contributors such as the united autoworkers
