Alas, that's fraught with a lot of ideology that would be a hornet's nest to stir up.

A big part of why historically banking has been so fragile in the US were their asinine bans on branch banking. Until fairly recently, banks were only allowed a single office in a single city. If that city was hit by hard times, the bank was also badly affected.

Compare that with eg Canada's nationwide chains, and their superior financial stability.
