Everyone knows... the "Administration" is thoroughly corrupt... and "true progressives" are just as corrupt as "extreme conservatives". We need professional career civil servants (e.g. Prof. William Black) who by training and experience understand that by letting mafia (i.e. organized criminals) control our governments and corporations we now have massive epidemics in top-down control frauds (i.e. deeply corrupt CEOs/CFOs, bankers, their crony politicians, and the top 5% methodically and viciously looting every sector of our economies). Forty years of trickle-up-neoliberal economics and take-or-be-taken-kill-or-be-killed politics have clearly destroyed the moral foundation and fabric of Western society. The reversal of this deep world-wide corruption will require that many thousands of organized criminals be publicly investigated/indicted/prosecuted and severely punished (i.e. fairness/justice will only be restored by 'enforcing' our laws). According to William Black... the current epidemics of control fraud are 100x larger than the S&L crisis. The S&L frauds involved $1T in assets and almost 1000 bankers were prosecuted/convicted/jailed... so todays pervasive frauds/corruption involve $100T in tainted assets and will require 100,000 top-level corporate/financial criminals be removed from our political/economic systems???REPORT COMMENTS

Mr. President, please nominate a strong knowledgeable reform activist to counter the undoing of your Dodd-Frank legacy. Investors, shareholders, retirees, workers saving for retirement or other life events, state and local taxpayers, and the rest of the US and the world need strong efforts to keep markets safe from another crisis. It's not enough to coddle traders and rulebreakers. Thank you.REPORT COMMENTS

These are powerful positions. The occupants develop some of the most important rules regarding how corporations are governed. The boards and managers of corporations, through their products and services AND through their political contributions and lobbying efforts, determine or certainly strongly influence everything from the tools we use, food we eat, air we breathe, and even who will represent us in political bodies. The rules of democracy matter. We need Commissioners who write rules to make corporations more democratic from within. Because they are so powerful, we need stronger forms of democratic corporate governance. More at http://www.corpgov.net.REPORT COMMENTS
