We discuss the impending end of LIBOR on September 30th, and why this is so very important for the European sovereign debt markets, Europe's banking system, and the US's ability to weather the resultant storm. You know this issue is important because no one is actually talking about it. Show Notes:Mittdolcino

Brilliant Tom, Thanks. Dave's a blast
Brad Burkley
I've enjoyed Tom's show for a couple of years. Glad Larry is on to straighten his out on this point: No part of the U.K. is leading anything except perhaps their own demise. Actually being familiar with U.K. means understanding they have one of the weakest and impotent government's in the west. People are afraid to say who's really running things and they have to fill in the blank with, chi-coms, City of London, Russia, D.C., etc. Obviously not. It's never been more clear who's giving orders.
