David Stockman (former Reagan budget director),

No. I think we’ve learned no lessons. We really have not restructured our financial system. The big banks that existed then that were too big to fail (under Reagan & Bush) are even bigger now (under Obama). The top six banks then had seven trillion of assets, now they have nine or ten trillion.
