It’s about time we had someone looking out for Americans, not Wall Street. That’s exactly what the head of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFFB) will do, and Elizabeth Warren is the best choice for the job. There is no time for someone to learn on the job. The middle class in this country is in dire straights. Professor Warren has carefully thought through not just the policy goals, but the implementation challenges. There will be no time-in-training. On the first day she will hit the ground running. Senators have a powerful role in the decision and consumers need senators to fight for consumer rights. The best way to do that is by publicly support Warren and letting President Obama know that consumers have gone unprotected long enough. It’s time for the Senate to stand up for Elizabeth Warren. She is the right person to lead the CFPB.
