Question for Catherine:

As a foreigner (Canadian), I am nearly as concerned about the state of American politics as those at home. I hope you can find a moment to give me your opinion of Elizabeth Warren. I was aware that her appointment was temporary, so it was not surprising that she was not given the control of the Consumer Agency. However, I question whether she or the new agency actually accomplished anything which would qualify her for a seat in government, or if this is just a case of reward for doing as you are told?

Catherine’s Response:

I don’t know Ms. Warren – my only information is from public sources. From public sources, her research appears very well done and quite useful. Her point of view is one of someone who really cares about people and her society. Her efforts in Washington have bordered on the courageous – as has been proven by the response. I believe that there is a great deal about the covert side of the economy that she does not yet understand. If she runs for the Senate, I will send her a donation. No matter how bad things get, we are always well served by having high quality people such as Warren in office.
