so how do we hold wall street accountable and how do we put consumers in control, at long last? first of all, we've got to have strict regulations to stop wall street from engaging in reckless activity. we've got to stop the reckless gambling that wall street was engaged in for far too long. we've got to end taxpayer bailouts forever. that's one thing we've got to achieve with this. i mentioned the too-big-to-fail problem. we've got to end too big to fail as a problem for our system. we've got to have a new cop on the beat. this isn't just a question of having a couple of tweaks of regulations. we need tough regulations and tough format. of course the -- tough enforcement. the analogy we use is one from law enforcement, having a new cop or a number of cops on the street, on wall street in particular. and we've got to put consumers in control with information about transactions that are in plain english. the problem that -- one of the problems that we're experiencing now is we got away from the system we had in place, not just strong regulation and mechanisms to control powerful

they raise the question for the united states as they did through much of the last decade of how long the world's greatest borrower can remain its greatest power. excessive budget deficits limit the ability to respond with fiscal policy when circumstances require it in an economic downturn. and excessive budget deficits, when associated with spending that is wasteful, erode confidence in government and trust in public institutions. ironically, this may make it more difficult to bring about reforms that are necessary to make the public sector function better and enhance our long- term productive capacity. the second proposition about fiscal policy is equally important. in settings where an economy's level of output is constrained by demand and where the federal reserve is unable to relax that constraint, fiscal policy will through the multiplier process have significant impacts on output and employment. either direct government spending or tax cuts that promote private spending will raise demand directly and then, as increased demand raises incomes, further raise spending. the result w
