Was wondering the same and did a little digging. Here’s an NPR piece.


One of a few pieces you can find about her thinking. I assume Biden picked her as a nod to the progressive wing - she seems on the Elizabeth Warren end of the spectrum on financial regulation, and is considered a scholar on the subject.

I can’t quite get a handle on her Federal Reserve idea - basically, it is for the Federal Reserve to offer deposit accounts to US citizens. In looking around I have seen it described as a way to grease the skids in a 2008-type financial crisis, or a bank of last resort for those who do not have access to traditional commercial banks, or a program to completely undermine private banking in this country and make the Fed the only option.

I can’t say I’m in love with her Fed idea, but I don’t think I fully grasp it. It is more than an academic exercise though - a proposal she herself apparently described as a radical departure from our current banking system. But I don’t believe this role would give that kind of power as basically the top banking cop.
