Hillary: If I’m President, I Will Allow Banks To Fail

‘They have to know, their shareholders have to know that that, yes, they will fail’

COLBERT: "And the banks -- and the banks are failing, do we let them fail this time?
CLINTON: "Yes, yes."
COLBERT: "We let them fail this time?"
CLINTON: "Yes, yes, yes, yes."
COLBERT: "Wow."
CLINTON: "First of all, under Dodd-Frank, that is what will happen, because we now have stress tests and I'm going to impose a risk fee on the big bank if they-- if they engage in what-- risky behavior. But they have to know, their shareholders have to know that that, yes, they will fail. And if they're too big to fail, then under my plan-- and others that have been proposed-- they may have to be broken up because if you can't manage it, then it's more likely to fail."
