Frank seeks more government in economy to curb inequality
Massachusetts congressman Barney Frank, longtime head of the Financial Services Committee, argues for stronger government intervention to reduce income gaps. He questions market driven wealth creation as socially healthy, favors universal Medicare with higher caps for the rich, and urges Congress to monitor Fed governors while keeping monetary policy out of politics unless necessary. Frank frames liberalism as pursuing equality through active policy.
