Thanks for your write ups, i am into the financial field and looking at blogs like yours does help get a better understanding on what is happening in the world.
I strongly believe that Professor Warren is the best choice for the Consumer Protection Agency. The one item that was not incorporated into this reform was the exorbitant credit card interest. This should be fully addressed. I am being charged 17.9% and 24.9% by Capital One. Today, I read that the CEO of Capital One is one of the highest paid executives. This is because credit card users of Capital One are being robbed in interest on credit card. Interest credit card issuers charge must be addressed immediately or else more people will face bankruptcty. I hope this is the first thing Prof Warren addresses-credit card robbery.
