Mark to Make-Up? Fiat Bank!

From today's FT: "The financial sector, down as much as 4.7 per cent soon after the open, rallied as much as 4.1 per cent after speculation swept through trading floors that Washington could suspend mark-to-market accounting requirements for illiquid assets."

If you follow the chain to its logical conclusion, it looks like the SEC is creating fiat money with fiat bank balance sheets.

Bank balance sheets? (That actually balance?) Ya gotta have Faith-a-faith-a-faith-ahhhhhhh!
