Why Jamie Dimon is Afraid of Debating Elizbeth Warren on CFPA - The Curious Capitalist - TIME.com
Elizabeth Warren is a Harvard law professor that also heads up the Congressional Oversight Panel, which has monitored the TARP program with hearings and studies. A few years ago, after studying a number of abusive lending practices regularly engaged in by the nation's largest banks, she came up with the idea of launching a Consumer Financial Protection Agency. In Warren's vision, it would be federally funded and separate from other regulators. It's only job would be to assess whether the loans and other products sold by banks are fair and safe for consumers. Much like the FDA does for drugs. Obama loves the idea.
