On financial reform:

"The old model of regulatory minimalism has failed our country in two principal ways. First, it is not sufficiently comprehensive; it allows a large portion of the financial services world to be either unregulated or underregulated. Second, the current "alphabet soup" of financial services, regulators, and enforcers is almost unintelligible to the public; encourages regulatory arbitrage; has led to less rigorous consumer standards than is desirable; and has trouble attracting a sufficient number of talented people to supervise larger and more complex financial companies, instruments, and markets."

But it's much easier to bleat about a mythical bogeyman and call everyone to the right of Michael Moore a "corporatist", whatever the hell that means.
