A group of regulators also traveled to New York this spring to tour some derivatives exchanges.<br /><br /><br />The proposals “may not sufficiently protect and promote competition in the industry,” Christine Varney, the Justice Department’s antitrust chief, said in a December letter to regulators. Ms. Varney, who will soon leave the government to join Cravath, Swaine & Moore, likened the situation to “three or five largest airlines controlling all landing rights at every U.S. airport.”<br /><br />http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2011/07/15/regulators-weigh-softer-derivatives-rules/?ref=businessAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724181159639068489.post-79552321055572119522011-07-16T13:40:42.245-04:002011-07-16T13:40:42.245-04:00Thank you for all the great links above.

Before the crisis, the Fed used much of its credibility to "assure" markets that everything was fine, right up and into a full-blown panic. After the panic, the Fed lost still more credibility on assurances of monetary efficacy with regard to the recovery, yet no recovery exists. It proclaims a job well done in "saving" millions of jobs, to the amazement of any impartial observer.<br /><br />Trillions of dollars have been used on price discovery, especially in the stock market, but 45 million people continue on food stamps and the average duration of unemployment is now twice the previous record. Banks are enjoying healthy profitability, assisted by loan loss accounting, at the same time withholding credit from all but the largest obligors. Individual American savers who are doing everything right are bearing the brunt of all this monetary success, as zero interest rates transfer money from them to the very banks that colluded in creating this disaster in the first place.<br /><br /><br />http://www.realclearmarkets.com/printpage/?url=http://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2011/07/15/bernanke_employs_a_modified_pump_and_dump_99126.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724181159639068489.post-17579967347198889102011-07-16T10:52:20.306-04:002011-07-16T10:52:20.306-04:00CDS -EFFECTS ON GREECE-

Obama was not willing to ruffle the banks, and Geithner, who is is most powerful Cabinet member, would not stand for it). Nevertheless, we are disappointed by this outcome. And it seems a bit churlish for this news to be leaked the day after she ran the gauntlet with the House Oversight Panel. From Bloomberg:<br /><br /> President Barack Obama has chosen a candidate other than Elizabeth Warren as director of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, according to a person briefed on the matter.<br /><br /> The president’s choice is a person who already works at the consumer agency, the person said today. Obama may make the nomination as soon as next week, another person briefed on the administration’s plans said.<br /><br />http://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2011/07/elizabeth-warren-out-as-possible-head-of-consumer-financial-protection-bureau.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724181159639068489.post-4200945273290373562011-07-15T14:34:01.143-04:002011-07-15T14:34:01.143-04:00Made in U.S.A.: Wealth Inequality
July 15, 2011 ...Made in U.S.A.: Wealth Inequality<br /><br />July 15, 2011 (Mobile version)<br /><br /><br />Here's the Great Game: mask the nation's rising wealth inequality with Central State spending that keeps the debt-serfs passive--all funded by debt, of course.<br /><br />2. Wealth destroys democracy and free markets when it buys the machinery of governance. Larry Ellison has made billions by developing and selling databases and business services. To the best of my knowledge, he spends his wealth on personal hobbies such as large homes and racing yachts. His lobbying efforts appear to be confined to yachting and the possible purchase of sports franchises. In other words, the political influence of his billions is localized and benign in terms of Federal policy decisions.<br /><br />Compare that to the millions spent by the "too big to fail" banking industry to buy Congressional approval of their cartel's grip on the nation's throat: Buying Off Washington To Kill Financial "Reform". <br /><br />http://www.oftwominds.com/blogjuly11/wealth-inequality-6-11.html<br /><br /><br />We know what category goldman falls under...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5724181159639068489.post-84690554519914598092011-07-15T13:38:46.683-04:002011-07-15T13:38:46.683-04:00People collectively have been thrown under bus...i...People collectively have been thrown under bus...it's all related.<br /><br />July 14 - Robert Reich on Blackmail and Brinkmanship with the Economy; Age of Greed;<br /><br />Robert Reich joins us to discuss the economic hostage crisis situation going on in Washington DC as the full faith and credit of the United States is subject to blackmail and reckless brinkmanship while economic recovery and creating jobs takes a back seat to the so-called deficit and debt crisis.<br /> <br /><br />Part 2<br /> Then Jeff Madrick, the author of a new book “Age of Greed: The Triumph of Finance and the Decline of America” joins us.
