Seriously antiquated

FED, OCC, OTS, FHFA, CFTC, SEC, FDIC, NAIC, ...

It seems that Obama and co. do not have the balls to sort out the alphabetic mess that is US supervision. Even the obvious targets - the OTS, who supervised AIG (yes, technically AIG was a Thrift), the SEC's regulatory capital regime, which did such a good job there are zero out of five large firms left on it - may be left to waddle on. Antiques may have an attractive patina, but sometimes you need something that is fit for the modern age. We won't get it, though. I am very tempted, like .the Epicuran Dealmaker, to give up on this crap
