Former Utah Governor and Republican presidential candidate Jon Huntsman addressed this issue clearly and repeatedly as he sought unsuccessfully to win his party s nomination to challenge President Barack Obama. Force the banks to break up, he argued, in order to cut off their subsidies.

Jon Huntsman, a candidate for the Republican presidential nomination, is addressing this directly insisting that we should force the largest banks to break up and to become safer. No other candidate for the presidency is seriously confronting this issue head on just saying we ll let them fail is no kind of answer when the failure of megabanks would cause so much damage.
