Chris Dodd: “It is going to take time to really ramp up and reach full scale.”

I had hoped we'd get in the lame duck session to the ratification of the Colombian Free Trade Agreement and the Panamanian Free Trade Agreement.

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

It's far more complicated than a common language.

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