Here's ten commons sense regulatory suggestions from Eskow's piece that I like ...
1. Honor Contract Provisions (e.g. no altering terms when contracts are sold off).
2. Honor State/Local Laws (rather than allowing "dummy" corporations to bypass regulations).
3. Don't Allow Homes to Become Digital Gambling Chips.
4. No More Retroactive Immunity.
5. Public Admission of Wrongdoing in Plea Deals (like this sleazy Alabama deal done through JP Morgan).
6. Make Auditors Legally Liable.
7. No Bonuses if you Get Rescued.
8. If You Borrow From the Federal Reserve at 0% You Must Lend.
9. Banks Shouldn't Own Fee/Servicing Companies
10. Rescued Institutions Must Renegotiate Underwater Homeowners.
