Don’t Fuck with Elizabeth Warren

"A think tanker at the liberal establishment fixture Brookings Institute put out a report saying that one of Warren’s pet consumer protection rules would come with too-high costs. “Oh non he didn’t!” [comedian voice]. Warren responded with a letter to Brookings pointing out that, hey, that report was sponsored in full by a money management firm with a direct financial interest in the rule. And, boom, what do you know, now the researcher, Robert Litan, has resigned from Brookings."

It is Gawker so there’s that, but they always have good links and “interesting” commentary.
