Former regulator, savings & Loan investigator, and current Braintruster at the Roosevelt Institute William K. Black says that if Elizabeth Warren isn’t appointed to head the consumer protection agency passed as part of the financial reform bill, it will be a clear sign that the agency isn’t going to protect consumers at all. While Warren has done the research in the field for 20 years, he notes, other candidates preferred by Treasury Secretary Geithner have fallen more into the Rubin/Summers camp of deregulators.
Black joins us via Skype from Kansas City, where he’s professor of Economics and Law at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, to break down the problems with the financial reform bill and make the case for Warren as the only way for real consumer protection. Distributed by Tubemogul.

Thanks William …
Thanks William Black and Laura, Here’s what I expect. More of the same. Cast system building. Funnelling all wealth to the very top. Dumping all debt on the poor and working parts of the cast system. Just look at Obombers cabinet members. The worst possible picks for the average citizen. The only way the people could be lucky enough to get someone like Elizabeth Warren would be if the position was made to be impossible to help anybody or thing.
