“It is positively Orwellian that, through this legislation, Democrats will empower an unelected bureaucrat to tell their fellow citizens whether or not they can fly on an airplane, take a vacation or purchase a home,” Representative Jeb Hensarling, a Texas Republican on Warren’s TARP panel, said Oct. 22.

Warren won’t discuss whether she may be a candidate to lead the authority, which would have the power to regulate $13.7 trillion of debt products. A Warren nomination would tell banks that Obama is determined to force reduced checking-account fees and limit lender claims in mortgage advertising, among other measures the industry opposes, said Thomas Cooley, dean of New York University’s Stern School of Business.

Have you been paying attention to the work that Warren has been doing?

The only reason we know as much about TARP as we do is because of this lady. She is the one that is trying to dig out the answers and let the public know what is really going on.

I have to say that the senator's comment about taking away the citizen' right to choice is completely disingenuous. It has no basis in fact, but is rather designed to instill fear.

The changes Dr. Warren proposes would still allow that family to take to trips (which apparently the senator thinks can ONLY be done by incurring debt) but would also give them a greater ability to determine what those trips would actually be costing them in terms of interest, fees, and repayment schedules.

If you get someone to sign a contract in a language they don't understand, it would be obvious that they had no ability to consent to the terms. The main points Dr. Warren is proposing is simply putting those contracts in a language that the people can understand.

I also prefer Coors Lite Beer over iced tea like she does.

Though I prefer Miller Lite over Coors Lite, and Pabst Blue RIBBON Lite, over both.
