but they were voted down in the, recall, in the brown-kaufman amendment to dodd-frank, rather decisivelyin the senate. and if you think of those as nicholas and i showed in a recent paper, they would have to be vastly different for europe and for the u.s. if you take the combined assets to the three largest banks in the u.s. to gdp, 2009 it's about 40%. if we take that same computation for european countries, it's somewhere normally between about 140% to over 400%. so you couldn't have that. the only bright spot i would say is basel iii is men mum standards -- minimum standards, and you could impose much more than the minimum on a national basis. some people say that's just not possible because of competitive factors. but then i say, well, look at switzerland, you know? they came in with a report recently. they had motivation. ubs lost 12% of risk-weighted assets during the crisis. they're in for 19% capital including 10% equity, common equity and the other 9% in contingent bonds. so i'd like to see the u.s. follow the swiss example and do that. do i think that's going to happen? don't t
