Chris Dodd: “This tragedy, as could have been expected, has brought out the best in the American people.”

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.

There's nothing wrong with enlightened self-interest.

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

I frankly don't see the sovereignty issue as playing a role as an impediment as much as the sheer ability of the cartels to corrupt.
