To Small to Wail

Fuck, I've got a Citi mortgage. Can I stop paying now? A very good friend of my family used to be a big-shot exec at Citicorp just before all laws were suspended and the firmament lifted toward the heavens and the water made wine and banks made insurance groups. He resigned just before the Traveler's merger in the late 90s. He was not sanguine about the prospects and suggested that the shit would fall apart in a decade or so. Whee!

So Citi is "too big too fail." What isn't, these days? It could have "spillover effects" in the "rest of the economy." Oh my god, my Euphemism is eating my Synecdoche. Run!
