Wir im Kongress haben also eine sehr klare Wahl. Wir können weitgehend symbolisch handeln und uns zurücklehnen, während Amerikaner mehr Benzin verbrennen. Oder wir können konkrete, wirksame Gesetze verabschieden, die den Verbrauchern Geld sparen und gleichzeitig den Ölverbrauch in den USA erheblich reduzieren.

Higher capital requirements increase bank costs, and at least some of those costs will be passed along to bank customers and shareholders. But in the longer term, stronger prudential requirements for large banking firms will produce more sustainable credit availability and economic growth.
