the last thing a large regulating financial institution wants is a new regulator. after all, they spent years and millions of dollars developing a relationship with their current regulators. a major regulatory organization would have seriously upset the status quo and cost them a great deal of money. neither chairman dodd nor i were persuaded, however, that the necessary change was going to come. unfortunately, that provision of reform again denies the bureaucrats and the liberal left begin to exercise their influence over the bill. when it became apparent that i was not willing to embrace the left's expansive consumer bureaucracy, it also became apparent that actual regulatory reform was not what the majority was seeking. all other serious reform was scuttled by the democrats in defense of the new consumer bureaucracy. that was the point at which chairman dodd and i began to seek a new negotiation -- negotiating partner, ultimately to no avail. as the fed and other regulators began to regain their foothold with the democrats and the administration left consolidate

, not just the banks but the large institutions, complicated institutions that are the big global leaders in these areas like goldman sachs, like morgan stanley, like g.e. capital, not just citibank and j.p. morgan, we're in the midst of a moderate, steady recovery, you have had six months now of private-sector job growth, private investment is actually pretty strong -- it's a recovery led by manufacturing, by production coming back, people making real things that the world needs, and we're saving more as a country today as a whole. it's not getting better as fast as we would like, and a lot of that is simply because, again, this is a crisis in part caused by the fact people are living beyond their means for a long period of time so inevitably we were going to go through a very difficult transition as people saved more, reduced their debt burdens and the crisis caused stunning damage to basic confidence among businesses. again, they just stopped in their tracks, and they -- they were very tentative about sort of coming back and believing again the economy was going to be stable moving for

and small institution on the same basis.hat was one of their premises in the beginning, and the idea was to provide fairness across all of our institutions. however, it is also the case that the larger institutions have been able to repay their t.a.r.p. funds because they have access to the capital markets, and can therefore through their shareholders obtain sufficient funds to repay the t.a.r.p. program. the smaller nks don't have that same access to the capital markets. they are making profits through lending activities, and there are many local lendingssues that are prohibiting smaller banks from making a ofitable return so the situation for smaller institutions is different than the situation for larger institutions. this lending fund that is being debated within the senate would provide additional funding to smaller institutions similar to what was done with the capital purchase program with the intent of enhancing their capital positions to allow them hopefully then to lend to more small businesses. in o view, one of t
