If there's any lesson I've learned in the last five years, it's don't be so sure about what lies ahead. There are amazing doors that could open,
The trickle-down experiment that began in the Reagan years failed America's middle class. Sure, the rich are doing great. Giant corporations are doing great. Lobbyists are doing great. But we need an economy where everyone else who works hard gets a shot at doing great!
It is not the job of the Department of Education to maximize profits for the government at the cost of squeezing students who are struggling to get an education.
When conservatives talk about opportunity, they mean opportunities for the rich to get richer, for the powerful to get more powerful.
If you want to find out how strong a company's ethics are, don't listen to what its people say, watch what they do.

With the right sources of funding and some smart, strategic thinking about how to force non-banks to follow the same rules as other lenders, the entire landscape of consumer lending would change.
With post offices and postal workers already on the ground, USPS could partner with banks to make a critical difference for millions of Americans who don't have basic banking services because there are almost no banks or bank branches in their neighborhoods.
