...original concern of the leaders who will come to the summit is that a lack of regulation was the root cause of the financial and credit catastrophe that ruined the international banking system. Leaving aside whether regulation can, in and of itself, make the financial markets less risky, increasing the power of regulatory bodies costs almost nothing in terms of creating new laws and staffing oversight agencies. There should be very little argument on that point. Every nation coming to the G-20 summit can afford to further regulate its banks and financial markets. However, there has been little time...
...Welcome to the SEC Circus I was incensed after reading your article on the lack of accountability and oversight at the Securities and Exchange Commission [March 9].

Though WWF is loosely overseeing Earth Hour, the protest - for lack of a better term - is a product of the age of social media, organized at the grassroots, with word spreading via Twitter and Facebook. "This is an open source thing," says WWF spokesperson Leslie Aun. "We lit the spark, but everyone is owning this...
...Baucus has been surprising almost everyone, most notably by the zeal with which he is tackling what could be the toughest challenge of all: overhauling the health-care system to provide coverage for the more than 45 million Americans who lack it and to bring soaring costs under control. Indeed, Baucus' proposal, unveiled in an 89-page white paper eight days after the election, was even more ambitious than Obama's, adding a requirement that individuals who are not covered by their employers purchase their own health insurance, much as car owners must carry auto insurance.(Read "Senate Democrats Optimistic...
