What BBN said about it

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe Bank of England says over one hundred regulatory thresholds could rise automatically, on a periodic basis. Rules that inflate themselves.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFinally, something in Britain that rises without a strike.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe bank calls it improving proportionality for firms. Nothing here moves rates directly, Dale. It is paperwork. Very large, very official paperwork.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorPaperwork is how every crisis starts, Hank. Looser thresholds, lighter capital, and then a bank falls over like a drunk at a wedding.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat is an opinion.
Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe fact is euro-dollar is down point five five percent at one point one two oh one, and the dollar index is up point three seven.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorAnd the U.S. ten-year at five point two six nine. Scripture, Hank. Pure scripture. I may need to sit down and giggle.
