On that precise topic, as noted a few days ago:
That person is on today’s list:
Federal Reserve, Banking and Securities Regulators
Gary Gensler, Team Lead – [MIT] – Volunteer
Some background:
It might seem surprising that Hillary Clinton picked a former Goldman Sachs guy to manage her campaign finances as CFO and advise her on economic policy, considering all the criticism she gets over her Wall Street ties. But Gary Gensler is no ordinary veteran of the “Government Sachs” cabal. By his own admission, Gensler underwent a major transformation from a Goldman Sachs executive and Rubinite (part of the group of loyalists around former Treasury Secretary and Goldman chief Robert Rubin who deregulated Wall Street in the 1990s) to a true believer in regulation following the 2008 financial crash. “All of us that were involved at the time, and certainly myself, should have done more to protect the American public through aggressive regulation,” he said shortly before he became chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission in the Obama administration, where he would earn praise from liberals for cracking down on derivatives trading.
This year [2016], Gensler, a close ally of Senator Elizabeth Warren, was instrumental in producing what even Bernie Sanders called “the most progressive platform in the history of the Democratic Party”—especially when it came to Gensler’s specialty, Wall Street reform. Among the progressive ideas on the platform are a financial transactions tax to curb excessive speculation, and a possible restoration of rigid Glass-Steagall banking restrictions.
