"And we should not accept a regulatory system that is so besieged by lobbyists for the big banks that it takes years to deliver rules and then the rules that are delivered are often watered-down and ineffective."
"What I want to know is this: how much longer should Congress wait for regulators to fix this problem?" she asked. "Another three months? Another three years? Until the next big bank comes crashing down?"
