Although Federal Reserve officials have said all of that money was
repaid, critics of the Fed have said the Fed’s loans were detrimental to
the U.S. economy because they encouraged mega-banks to grow even larger
and more reckless. Reich has warned that because those banks have grown
even bigger than they were half a decade ago, future bailouts could be
even more costly. According to Reich: “The danger of an even bigger cost
in coming years continues to grow….In fact, now that they know for sure
they’ll be bailed out, Wall Street banks—and those who lend to them or
invest in them—have every incentive to take even bigger risks.”
