Let's not allow the voice of the people to be overwhelmed by the siren song of those who opposed regulation, who demanded that government should stand aside and let finance and business run the show.

Solidarity and interdependence, a sense of worth, a pride and hope in the future: these are positive gains for those who believe in progressive politics and the beneficial role of government, rather than a detriment.

Government is not show business.

The democratic state can sometimes abuse its power as much as those who seek to destroy it abuse fundamental rights and democratic practices.

The people who tried government regulation have lives which are miserable.

Bill Daley brings a wide range of experience with respect to business, finance and government. He has a proven record of leadership and will bring to the board valuable perspective in many important areas.
