"the agency prepares to take on a bigger role in policing derivatives markets."

And the check is in the mail, and I won't cum in your mouth.

These bastards have diarrhea of the mouth talking about future plans to improve regulation and streamline efficiencies and ZZZZZ. This broken record continues playing while everyone dleriously watches biilionaire thieves flush the entire economy down the toilet.

Want a real reocovery? Start with one severed head.

Jamie Dimon was right a few years ago when he said the problem isn't lack of regulation, it's bad regulators and fraud. The whole system is fucked. Regulators, without fail, end up being owned by the industry they regulate. It's been going on for decades. Nothing changes it.

But one area where we obviously do need more regulation and transparency is derivatives. Everything happens in the shadows. Who knows what is out there, and with Greece buckling this morning, it looks like the Troika might be done with them. If that happens and greece leaves the euro, we are going to learn a lot about the previously-hidden derivatives. JPMorgan, for one, has sold a lot of CDS protection on European banks who are going to be in trouble if greece leaves.

More transparency for sure. It's the opacity that enables so much fraud.

But look. What kills me is the lack of law enforcement. Before 1934, the S.E.C. Didn't even exist, and yet people went to jail for criminal fraud. Regulation has become a wholesale apology for the lack of criminal referrals. Jon Corzine stole your retirement money? Why, we need more regulation. Peregrine overstated its accounts by 98% year in a year out? We need more audits, damnit

Regulation is a crock of shit if people profit from theft without any chance of doing hard time. I think it's what Mr. Black calls a crimimogenic environment. In such a system, regulation is actually bad, since criminals will use is a weapon against honest competitors

I know I'm preaching to the choir, though. It's just disheartening to see bankers taking a dump all over every civics book ever written and acting like they're Hendrix.

By the way, is the name of that Daycare really "Titty City"?
