    I agree.

    The worthwhile comments get the negatives and the Spammer -bort user - gets the positives.

    "Sabotage Or Stupidity" - maybe a bit of both.

    To Those Skewing The Ratings => Pretend At Your Own Peril - Safety IS A Function Of Awareness.

    Yes, In Bankruptcy Cramdown is a valid remedy. However, the policy as discussed has nothing to do with Bankruptcy.

    If you are correct, then the subjugation of America Is Complete and the ails of the populous matter not.

    "Cuomo pension probe widens. New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo is expanding his probe of pension-fund kickbacks, saying the probe has exposed "a national network of actors" whose schemes are ongoing, and has charged a money manager with making illegal payments to a political consultant in exchange for investment business. The charge is at least the fifth since Cuomo's investigation began."



    I Hope Others Rally To Protect Andrew Cuomo - It is a "Dangerous Game" when chasing those with the means to "Pay" to stay in power. This is one of the better developments in that it is at least an attempt to Prosecute Wrong Doing. Complexity Favors The Sinister. The Complexity Of Corruption Is Vast. K-Street in DC may finally Be Exposed for its Nefarious Practices.



    "Cramdowns get voted down." - Thank Goodness That Contract Law Dodged A Bullet. When Contracts Become "Negotiable In Retrospect At The Whim Of Judges" The "Free Market" Will Cease To Function With Any Vitality.


    "Stress test results delayed." - This is buying more time to "Massage The Numbers". By the time these "Results" are released we may have reached, or passed, the values used for "Worst Case" in these tests. Lets hope that no one else "Commits Suicide" while arguing with regulators about what "Stats" to release. I guess that most of the "Original Captains" are in place still, so maybe there will be less dissension.



    I Think It Is Great That We Are Not Going Over The Cliff - AS FAST.

    Live While You Live.
