“I support the creation of a new agency – one that’s accountable to the public, and not to the big banks – that will put in place some common-sense rules of the road to protect consumers and balance the financial playing field.
Unfair financial products–like “exploding” mortgages and credit cards with incomprehensible and unfair terms and fees –are a big part of what caused last year’s economic meltdown. And thanks to Wall Street’s greed, millions of Americans have lost their homes, their jobs, and their retirement savings.
Dangerous and misleading financial products not only harm families, but also put the entire economy in danger by increasing risk throughout the financial system.”
