Thanks for this post. Transparency in all government agencies is very important. Let me share an update on US senate banking committee. Senator-elect Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts will apparently be a member of the Senate Banking Committee, reports from inside the Senate indicate. I can say that she is fit for the jobe because of her contributions on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau formation and the Dodd-Frank Act.
