The recklessness of that decision, and companion measures to loosen other safeguards, was clear at the time. Lawmakers accepted the arguments of the two banks, and their allies, barely a decade after the failure of similar-size lenders like Washington Mutual and National City Bank played a starring role in the 2008 financial crisis.

Regulators have a responsibility to ensure that banks do not abuse those privileges. They are insulated from market discipline by various forms of federal protection because, like the power companies that keep the lights on, they provide a public service that is essential to a modern economy. Banks are different from most private-sector companies. Policymakers - in Congress, the Treasury Department and the Federal Reserve - have a duty to explain to the American public how things were allowed to spin so far out of control.

Carol Beecher, Alaska´s director of elections, told her state legislature last week that she´s evaluating whether to pull out of ERIC because "it´s expensive and we are a small state."

Regulators also should have limited the bank´s dangerous reliance on large, uninsured deposits. Indeed, regulators treated Silicon Valley Bank´s core strategy of investing in government bonds as essentially risk free, blind to the dangers posed by a rapid rise in interest rates. The bank took big risks to grow quickly by gathering and investing money from a wide range of tech start-ups; its shareholders cheered, and its auditors and regulators did nothing to interfere. Yet the details of Silicon Valley Bank´s rise and fall are depressingly familiar.
