[10:25] {dino} thats what happens when you prop up failures
[10:26] {dino} the system was not allowed to cleanse itself
[10:26] {Threei} and more risk is taken by those who see that failure carries no risk
[10:27] {Threei} while careful ones are being punished twice,
[10:27] {Threei} by not ripping the reward in case of success, and by paying to bail out failures
[10:27] {Threei} and we wonder why system rots?

[11:29] {Threei} - Rescheduling Greek debt would not really help the situation and there would be lots of collateral damage.
[11:29] {Threei} - ECB is still working out the details of a plan to help banks addicted to special funding.

[12:55] {RonS} Even before the first oil company executive testified before the Senate Finance Committee on Thursday, Sen. Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) criticized the hearing as a dog-and-pony show.
[12:55] {RonS} Lawmakers should not go down the “dangerous road” of punishing American businesses for being profitable, said Hatch, the committee’s ranking member.
[12:56] {RonS} With a photo of a dog riding a pony as a backdrop behind him, Hatch said Thursday’s hearing would only provide “political theater.”
[12:56] {RonS} He noted that contrary to what some people think, the Obama administration does indeed have an energy policy: “Are you ready for this? Their energy policy is to increase the cost of energy,” Hatch said.”
