Transparent financial statements are so damn inconvenient anyway...As speculated earlier here and reported today by the WSJ here, banks and other financial industry lobbyists didn't like the idea of the FASB wanting everyone to consolidate their off-balance sheet entities.

Barney Frank will certainly get to the bottom of this little annoyance as well and the FASB will fold like a cheap lawn chair. You know, per usual.
