US Treasury staff working to provide Lew options on stemming tax inversions ‘as soon as possible’ – Treasury official

Reuters cites a Treasury official, who says a list of options will take longer than ‘a week or two.’

Here’s what’s going to happen: The administration is going to continue making noise about this until the mid-term elections and that will put a chill on inversions. After the election, the issue will be quietly dropped (perhaps after some token, toothless changes) and it will be business as usual.
