She has been one of my heroes since I first saw that exchange on C-SPAN.

Ms. Born is a diamond in the rough ... sadly she was steam rolled by all the sharks swimming around Clinton in the late 1990's.

Brooksley Born ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooksley_Born ) was one of people who saw the 2008 Financial Meltdown coming and she tried to "warn" against the dangers of "Innovative Financial Products" but who was shut down by the Washington 'Financial -Political Cabal'. Anyone who really wants to learn about this lady and her prescience, needs to watch "The Warning" :

radix omnium malorum est cupiditas ...

Former U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission Chair Brooksley Born describes the lack of progress toward implementation of financial reforms, almost four years after the 2008 financial crisis. Born is a member of the Systemic Risk Council, a new group that will monitor and encourage regulatory reform of U.S. capital markets. For more information, please visit:
