• Big banks churn out page after page of incomprehensible fine print to obscure the cost and risks of checking accounts, credit cards, mortgages and other financial products. The result is that consumers can't make direct product comparisons, markets aren't competitive, and costs are higher. If the playing field is leveled and the broken market fixed, a lot more money will stay in the pockets of millions of hard-working families. That's real stimulus - money to families, without increasing our national debt.

You just hold onto the rightnesses, so it's a playing field that anyone would want and feel much more comfortable with.

And of course it gives me and John a nice chance to perform and show off which is also fun.
