From the right, the stress is on the hazards of crony capitalism, owing to the massive implicit government subsidies that these banks receive. But both left and right agree on the fundamental asymmetry that the recent “Citigroup Amendment” implies: Bankers get rich whether they win or lose, because the US taxpayer foots the bill when their risky bets fail.
在左翼看来，重点是巨型银行对权力的滥用以及对中产阶级的大压榨。在右翼看来，压力在于权贵资本主义风险——因为这些银行获得了巨大的隐性政府补贴。但左翼和右翼都同意当前的“花旗集团修正案”所隐含的根本性的不对称：银行家不论输赢都能致富，因为美国纳税人会为他们失败的高风险赌注买单。
