Elizabeth Warren has devoted much of the past three decades to studying the economics of middle class families. In the wake of the 2008-9 financial crisis, she became the chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel created to investigate the U.S. banking bailout (formally known as the Troubled Assets Relief Program). In that role, she has provided a critical check on the U.S. Department of the Treasury and has been a leading advocate for accountability and transparency.
Steve Clemons has a post about her and a link to a petition urging the Obama Administration to nominate her for this position.
You can find his article here and the petition here I’d urge anyone who advocates a strong presence to police Wall Street and the Banking Industry to protect the working middle class to sign this.
