Keep the Shiny side up

"The CFPA will be charged with protecting consumers in credit, savings, and payment markets, transparency, simplicity, fairness, accountability, and access."

Yep

"...and will be guided in this mission by five fundamental principles: transparency, simplicity, fairness, accountability, and access."

Perhaps it would be better if they started by having the government be guided by these priciples.

The "Senate wants auto industry to restructure for efficiency - Senate questions why Chrysler/GM are closing dealerships" dicotomy comes to mind.

"Keep the Shiny side up"
