Elizabeth Warren

Does well even in bad times.

-- backed by moderate Democrats and Republicans -- argue that Obama's new regulations decrease low- and middle-income Americans' access to retirement advice.

check it, how moderate Democrats are lumped in with Republicans. Feels like that in DU every fricken day now.

But the argument above is bullshit. If those Financial advisers don't like the rules Obama is proposing, I don't want them touching money in the first place. This "the new rules will decrease access to financial advisers for lower and middle income...." then F' em. I more than happy to take it to someone who follows the new rules, except if the new rules are flawed. There's always that.
