We are all monolines now

(This is universally regarded as a great idea.
In this humble blogger's opinion it is atrocious, a slow motion debasement of the full faith and credit of the United States.
The last bubble to blow up is us.
Banks as RAVs with AAA pixie dust.
Inconceivable that this will stop with bank holding companies, albeit there are a thousand or so BHCs in the wings that will want to suck on the Federales teet.
As previously stated this co-mingling will ultimately make the credit ratings of the issuer ubiquitous with the sovereign to the detriment and ultimate chagrin of the sovereign. - AM)
