Basel bank regulations are un-American, un-European and un-Western World

I do indeed think that current regulations are un-American, but I guess my reasons are not exactly those of Jamie Dimon.

Yes! It is un-American, because by allowing banks to leverage more their capital when earning the risk-adjusted-interest-rate from those perceived as “not-risky” than when earning the same rate from those perceived as “risky”, Basel regulations have introduced a silly and unproductive risk-adverseness that is not compatible with a “ the land of the brave”

Yes! It is un-American, because allowing banks to leverage immensely more their capital when lending to the government than when lending to their small businesses and entrepreneurs, is stealth communism, absolutely not compatible with “the home of the brave”

Yes! It is becoming even more un-American, because allowing some banks to be named Systemically Important Financial Institutions, SIFIs, against a token additional 2.5 percent equity paid over many years, and thereby awarding them a “Too-big-to-fail” franchise, and relegating de facto all other banks to the group of Systemically Un-Important Institutions, SUFIs, is, or should be, an un-American discrimination

PS. Here´s a video that explains a small part of the craziness of our bank regulations, in an apolitical red and blue! http://bit.ly/mQIHoi
