Chris Dodd: “The previous administration did not believe that we should talk to countries with whom we have a difficult relationship.”

In fact, it was the uncertainty inherent in a nontransparent and reckless financial system that made Dodd-Frank necessary in the first place.

There's nothing wrong with enlightened self-interest.

The truth is that the catastrophe was years in the making caused by regulatory negligence and Wall Street gambling.

I'll tell you, one of the things I feel very good about is that there are people like Bob Menendez, who care about these issues.
