'Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT) and Representative Barney Frank (D-MA) were primary sponsors for the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act which was signed by President Obama on July 21, 2010. Rather than arrange for an actual interview with the lawmakers so they can give me non-answer answers, I envisioned how an interview with the esteemed gentleman might transpire.

'On occasion I have the privilege of attending a banking conference in a swanky locale. Last month, I attended a gathering of Pennsylvania bankers at The Breakers in West Palm Beach, Florida. These conferences are typically chock full of opportunities for me to learn something. I feel it my duty to pass what I learn to you in the hope that you will benefit from it, as I have.

'Banking is under assault by lawmakers, regulators, and the public. What started as the mortgage crisis, advanced to a Wall Street crisis, and has devolved into what is known as a banking crisis. As consumers began defaulting on loans, the stereotypical media reaction demonized those "bankers" forcing people from their homes. Nary a word seemed to be said about people borrowing money from the banks and promising to pay it back while at the closing table.
