Well, to be fair, Geithner hasn't made the decision yet. But, yeah, I'm not holding my breath.

That WaPo piece is pretty awful. One of those I-want-five-minutes-of-my-life-back pieces. Good God, when will that paper finally fold...?

Glad you found it useful.

Dodd-Frank really requires it? Wow. It will be like Wikileaks info if they can't hide the facts.

Just saw this about Geithner wanting to exempt foreign exchange swaps from regulation as they firm up the rules left undone earlier.

Stay tuned: will he get his way? ;o) Yves Smith sees it a bit differently than WaPo.

Whether or not one agrees with his political suggestions/conclusions, this is just a really great plain English explanation of some stuff that is usually over the head of someone like moi. Thanks for the recommend.
