I suspect that tying this bill to the unemployment rate was an attempt to assure other countries that"yes, we do plan on reciprocity some time in the future but not right now..."<br />Interesting message and one that other countries could echo. It infuriates me though that the impact of FATCA on other countries was never taken into account by U.S. lawmakers. Not the best way to make friends and influence people. :-)Victoria FERAUGEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319699673885400472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424131704277823220.post-14816879687529440172012-08-14T07:21:25.838+02:002012-08-14T07:21:25.838+02:00What a convoluted idea to post-date the enactment ...What a convoluted idea to post-date the enactment of a terrible bill to the unemployment rate.

I would probably only quibble with a very small detail, but won't bother you with it, as it does not distract from the fine narrative which is very readable for the non wonks. I have added it to my "DATCA is not Dead" thread at Isaac Brock. <br /><br />I assume you have seen the new Press Release by Jatras prn.to/M2jPSk with the letter from the 4 Senators to Geithner. bit.ly/OBwoFi Must reads. :)<br /><br />Also, you will note that I have tweeted your piece a few times. :)<br /><br />Well done.
