It’s absolutely absurd that the government is even considering this. Too-big-to-fail firms should be subject to stricter regulation, not given a free pass. This just goes to show how corrupt and out of touch our government is.

SEPTEMBER 22, 2023 • SILLA BRUSH, AUSTIN WEINSTEIN, KATANGA JOHNSON

Top American regulators are holding a closed-door meeting Friday to discuss the changes. The prospect of a reduced timeline — and greater discretion to make determinations — means that more companies could eventually wind up with the tag.

Financial titans are preparing for battle. The too-big-to-fail tag spells greater oversight and fresh compliance headaches, and long-simmering concerns about the threat are boiling over in Washington.

Leading trade groups like the Investment Company Institute, the Managed Funds Association and the Mortgage Bankers Association have been urging regulators to tread carefully. BlackRock Inc., Fidelity Investments, Vanguard Group Inc., and other big players in finance have also sent in comment letters, objecting to aspects of a proposal released in April.
