Chris Dodd: “This is truly an American patriot who has taken his life experience, his family's experience, and then applied those…”

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

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.

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.

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