More capital has downsides that need further exploration, in particular, higher capital could raise the cost of lending and potentially reduce economic activity.

The Wall Street critics can't argue with me on the substance of too-big-to-fail, so they criticize the messenger, i welcome their criticisms because they are an implicit admission that I am right.

I challenge anybody who thinks, in a stressed time, we would put these banks through resolution, i really don't think it will happen.

I don't see this as a partisan issue, i do think there are people on both sides of the aisle who care about this issue and think we should take stronger action.

If we can demonstrate to the American people that there is a diversity of views within the Federal Reserve system, and people are outspoken, what better way to demonstrate that we are not political or beholden to the (White House) or any political party, i think this shows more independence among the Federal Reserve.

I do think there are people on both sides of the aisle who care about this issue and think we should take stronger action, it wasn't a political statement. It was a statement about economic risks.

Now is the right time for Congress to consider going further than Dodd-Frank with bold, transformational solutions to solve this problem once and for all.

I am far more skeptical that these tools will be useful. by Neel Kashkari
