Our own Sen. Bob Corker made an appearance on Charlie Rose last night to discuss the financial reform package just released.
Yesterday Senate Dem. Chris Dodd of Conn. presented his reform package to the Senate Banking committee, calling it the most sweeping regulatory overhaul since the Great Depression. Corker had been working on a bipartisan bill with Dodd, but as Corker explains in the interview, concessions were being made that upset Democrats and so Dodd decided to give up on the effort to please members of his own party.
Corker still sounds like he's holding out hope for some broad consensus on individual pieces of the legislation, although he says that the committee vote will likely be along party lines because of how complex the bill is.
