Barney Frank was king of the Hill yesterday, holding court for several hours as the House Financial Services Committee, of which he is the chair, grilled the CEO's of 8 companies that received TARP funds.

It's going to be comparable, I think, to what FDR did with the New Deal, with the Securities and Exchange Commission and other rules. We will not depend on their goodwill.
