> unhedged duration risk, nor the moral hazard created by the bailout
Just making sure I understand your point here, are you just against "banking"? Unhedged duration risk w/ LOLR backup is essentially "the banking business".
What's the moral hazard? The equity is wiped out, most of the debtors are wiped out.
The only moral hazard I see is we've disincentivized individual depositors from assessing the financial strength of their banks. To me, this is a good thing. I hope we can bring similar moral hazards to choosing a plane to fly on, bridge to cross, building to enter, restaurant to eat in, hospital to go to, etc.
