Dodd: CFPA Must Have 'Rule-Making Authority' (VIDEO)

Video:  Word from Chris Dodd on financial reform and the status of Liz Warren's Consumer Financial Protection Agency -- Feb. 26, 2010

Feb. 26 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. Senator Christopher Dodd, a Connecticut Democrat and chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, says a new consumer protection authority needs rule-writing powers regardless of whether it's created as a separate agency or becomes part of an existing regulator.  Dodd, who is leading negotiations on a financial regulatory overhaul bill, spoke in an interview for Bloomberg Television's "Political Capital With Al Hunt," which airs this weekend on Bloomberg TV.

Why Every Aspect of Dems' Handling of Wall St. Overhaul Seems Headed for Disaster

You are in no position to patronize me. Let's leave that to Barry.

Public Citizen says ("The latest news is that Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.) is proposing that consumer protections be housed at the Federal Reserve - the same Fed that failed to act to regulate the abusive and risky practices that took down our economy")

If this is true the Consumer Protection Agency will end up another do nothing government program. A total waste of time and money. I wish November would hurry up and get here. We have to start getting rid of these owned by the banks and wall street people.

((((((((((America Has To Abolish The FED To Survive )))))))))))))))

Our Constitution says that Congress is the only Body that can issue new money. If Congress created the new Money there would be no interest on the Money created.

We should not have a Central Bank. We should not have to pay interest on money created to Private Banks.

It becomes a double tax on Americans. They have to pay interest to the Banks for the creation of new Money and Americans existing Money is worth less because of the creation of new Dollars.

Interest on Money created and devaluation of existing Money.

How much of your Income Tax do you think goes to the interest on the Debt created from Zero to the Private Banks. I would bet 95%.

Plus, all of the Money can never be paid back because they lent you more than the Principal they also lent you the interest. So, even if you pay back the Principal where is the Interest created from? Nowhere. So, you always owe more than was created from Zero.

There is no way to ever pay back the Money Created as there is not enough Money in circulation to pay the increasing interest.

I am sure the Banks love this as it is a Never Ending Story.

It is also important to take the control of creating Money and gaining interest on Money created with no cost to the Banks.

It is widely known that Banks have "financed" Wars for both sides of the War. War is good for Banks as it creates interest to the Banks on Money created to fight those Wars.

I do not think the 2008 Financial Meltdown was by accident. As it created a huge need for the Creation of New Money with interest to the Banks to dig America out of the Crisis.

Loss of Jobs. Money needs to be created with interest to support the jobless and to create new jobs.

I think if you follow the Money you will see that most Wars and Crisis's are created or encouraged by the Banks to cause the creation of Money and the interest on that Debt.

The more Money created the higher the interest payments to the "Private Banks". This interest was never created and put into circulation so it is impossible to ever pay it off.

America cannot continue to pay interest on interest forever. There is not enough money in circulation to pay for all of the interest accruing. It becomes impossible to ever pay off.

Almost all of our Tax Dollars go to Private Banks in the form of Interest on the Debt Created from zero capital. Why should they receive interest on capital they never had?

Without Interest on Debt created from zero capital to a non Government entity we would not have a National Debt.

Why should "PRIVATE BANKS" receive interest on Money they never lent to America? They just created from zero.

I will have to view your silence as an apology for your veil of ignorance. Apology accepted.
