Warren Lays Out Ambitious Agenda For Curbs On The Financial Sector [View all]

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) laid out an ambitious legislative and regulatory blueprint for further curbs on the financial sector Wednesday.

Accusing Republicans of engaging in “pure crony capitalism” by trying to relax rules on Wall Street, Warren is pushing for reform that goes further than the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, laying out several legislative steps Congress should take.

“Dodd-Frank made some real progress,” she said in remarks delivered in Washington. “But there is more work to be done.”

The big-bank critic has been no stranger to financial regulatory issues, but her remarks Wednesday mark her broadest plan yet for overhauling how the government monitors Wall Street, covering everything from high-frequency trading to how bank CEOs take home a paycheck.

I think it's clear that Warren will use her influence to try and push Hillary on these issues.
