The Obama administration has unveiled legislation that would allow the government to shift the cost of future bailouts of troubled firms to other large companies. The measure would create a fund from companies with over $10 billion in assets to bear the costs of rescuing other so-called “too big to fail” firms. The legislation was drafted by Treasury officials and House Financial Services Committee chair Barney Frank.
