Remember the good ol´ days of lemonade and big front porches? And grandpa with his candies? And-wait; let´s try that again. Remember when the drive-thru bank tellers at your local branch recognized you and sent lollipops for your kids through the pneumatic tube?

House Financial Services Committee Chairman Barney Frank is determined not to waste Congress´ last week in session before the July 4 break: He plans to charge ahead with regulatory restructuring hearings. The Senate Banking Committee will also hold a hearing on part of the regulatory restructuring effort. Elsewhere in Washington, the Federal Open Market Committee will meet-though the outcome of that gathering isn´t really a nail-biter. Afterwards, Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will be called to justify Bank of America´s acquisition of Merrill Lynch to Congress.
