DESCRIPTION:\nDouglas Elliott (left) and Paul Saltzman argue against the motion 
 \n"Break Up The Big Banks" Samuel LaHoz/Intelligence Squared U.S.\nIn 2008, 
 the U.S. Treasury committed 245 billion in taxpayer dollars to stabilize 
 America’s banking institutions.  Banks that were once “too big to 
 fail” have only grown bigger.  Was size and complexity at the root of the 
 financial crisis, or do calls to break up the big banks ignore real 
 benefits that only economies of scale can pass on to customers and 
 investors? The debaters are Richard Fisher, Simon Johnson, Douglas Elliott, 
 and Paul Saltzman.\n\n\n\n\nRichard Fisher (left) and Simon Johnson argue 
 in favor of breaking up big banks, \nas moderator John Donvan looks on. 
 Samuel LaHoz/Intelligence Squared U.S.\nBefore the debate, the audience at 
 New York City's Kaufman Center voted 37 percent in favor of the motion and 
 19 percent against.  Forty-four percent were undecided.  After the debate, 
 49 percent supported breaking up big banks which is an increase of 12 
 percentage points and 39 percent opposed which is an increase of 20 points. 
 That made the side arguing against breaking up the banks the winners of the 
 debate.\nSource: intelligence2 Debates: Should The U.S. Break Up Big
