Regulation Drumbeat Gets Louder, Dodd Has No Quick Fix as Uncertainty Grows

WASHINGTON (DOW JONES) -- Senate Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd, D-Conn., said Wednesday he supports the idea of a federal systemic risk regulator. "You need a systemic risk regulator," Dodd said, taking questions from reporters after a speech at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. "The question is who is going to perform that function?" The Federal Reserve already has many responsibilities and creating a new entity to act as a systemic risk regulator would be a daunting task, Dodd said.

Dodd and the rest of these men attempting to steer the ship are clueless. Bush was bad, Obama and his democrat Congress 10X worse.
