Sen. Elizabeth Warren: U.S. success due to government regulationThe government not only has a right to regulate the American people, but regulation is really the key to the countrys success, Democratic Sen. Elizabeth Warren said on Thursday.
Its thanks to federal agencies that no one has to worry that those white pills are baking soda instead of antibiotics or that the paint on the babys crib is laced with lead, she said, in prepared remarks reported in Politico.
...
Ms. Warren honed in on President Obamas pick of Richard Cordray to direct the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and said Republicans who contest his nomination, and push for restrictions on the agencys powers, are on the wrong side of the issue. Theyre trying to weaken a key consumer protection, she said in the Politico report.
Blocking Rich Cordray is about keeping the game rigged, keeping the game rigged so that consumers remain in the dark and a few bad actors can rake in big profits, Ms. Warren said in the Politico report.
