One of the dangers of being asked regularly to touch upon things is that you start attempting to be known as a sage who has made great predictions beforehand. And that means you get soccer prognosticators who keep picking the upset special, on the view that no one shall remember when they’re wrong, but that they’ll be able to crow about it when they’re finally right.

There are several ways we could address inversions like the ones that we are viewing today, involving actual mergers between international and U.S. One is just to let them happen. Another is to change the rules by requiring more financial substance than we do under current law somewhat. A third, emphasized by the Treasury in issued regulations recently, is to reduce the expected tax advantages of these deals. And a fourth is more to address the variations in U generally.S.
