| The Week In Economy and Jobs Today, President Obama announces that he has selected Elizabeth Warren to serve as an Assistant to the President and Special Advisor to the Secretary of the Treasury on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). In a blog post this morning Warren explains the importance of this new agency: President Obama understands the importance of leveling the playing field again for families and creating protections that work not just for the wealthy or connected, but for every American. The new consumer bureau is based on a pretty simple idea: people ought to be able to read their credit card and mortgage contracts and know the deal. Elizabeth Warren has been a champion for American consumers and families and was the architect of the idea that became the CFPB. This new agency will set and enforce clear, consistent rules for the financial marketplace to protect consumers from confusing mortgages, unfair credit card rate hikes, and expensive overdraft programs.
