Obama's plan for a new consumer protection agency with needed powers.
07/15/2009
One of the lessons of the global economic crisis is the need to protect consumerts to protect the economy as a whole. A system of lobbying and campaign contributions by the banking industry to members of Congress kills action in the public's interest. A dysfunctional system of consumer protection with powers and responsibilities spread over many federal agencies and no accountability, tends to put banking interests first, leading to the problems in the current crisis with subprime mortgages.

Consumer Agency to Seek an Expansive Role
Wall Street Journal 06/17/2009
We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
