Just as before the 2008 financial crisis, banks have once again managed to ring up billions in profits by making risky bets and then gone running for government aid as those bets have started to sour. But the wide-ranging intervention is only necessary because the newly shuttered banks - the second- and fourth-largest failed banks in American history - were not exceptions to a pattern of general probity. banking industry was sitting on a total of about $620 billion in unrealized losses as a result of investments undermined by the rise of interest rates.

Policymakers - in Congress, the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve - have a duty to explain to the American public how things were allowed to spin so far out of control. Banks are different from most private-sector companies. Regulators have a responsibility to ensure that banks do not abuse those privileges. They are insulated from market discipline by various forms of federal protection because, like the power companies that keep the lights on, they provide a public service that is essential to a modern economy.
A 59-year-old man was arrested last week for allegedly double voting in the 2020 presidential election. Florida authorities brought the felony charge because of information submitted by Virginia to a national database called ERIC, which is short for the Electronic Registration Information Center.
Banks should be required to raise more money from shareholders, who have a strong incentive to keep an eye on the way that money is used, since they can lose all of it. They are allowed to borrow most of the money they use from lenders and depositors. Policymakers also need to recognize the limits of government oversight as a substitute for market discipline. Money raised from shareholders is called capital, and banks have far less of it than other kinds of companies. If, for example, banks were required to raise 20% of funding from shareholders, that would still be well below the norm for other kinds of companies but enough that it might have covered Silicon Valley Bank´s losses and saved the bank.
Lawmakers accepted the arguments of the two banks, and their allies, barely a decade after the failure of similar-size lenders like Washington Mutual and National City Bank played a starring role in the 2008 financial crisis. The recklessness of that decision, and companion measures to loosen other safeguards, was clear at the time. This board warned that policymakers were inviting another crisis.
