The public losses are massive in comparison: roughly $6 trillion, if we limit ourselves just to the increase in federal government debt. And leading bank executives still insist that they should be allowed to run highly leveraged global businesses, in which they are paid based on their return on equity – unadjusted for any risk.
相比之下公众的损失则极为巨大：如果仅仅用联邦政府的债务增长来评估的话，大概60亿美元。但那些银行大佬们却依然坚持自己应当被允许运营更高杠杆的全球业务，并基于企业股票回报率来向他们支付报酬——无论出现任何风险。
