The biggest owners of VZ/T debt (therefore, the ones that REALLY call the shots) are *institutional investors* (by and large, union and other pension plans, such as CalPERS). Those same pension plans need higher rates of return (due to increasing numbers of retirees) and they need them yesterday. It is precisely this sort of investor that is coining terms like *jobless recovery* and *squeezing blood from a stone*. Chances of anything realistically being done about it - none.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Foot-shooting-25386154 Wed, 26 Jan 2011 21:31:28 EDT Re: Foot shooting http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Foot-shooting-25378933 said by MichaelPea:

As often as Verizon shoots themselves in their feet, I would think that by now, their feet should look like bleeding swiss cheese.

Nah, Verizon's feet does not look like bleeding swiss cheese. It is the consumers' pockets that do.
