Huffington Post: JPMorgan Chase Risk Management Committee Missing Bank Directors, Financial Risk Managers

Posted: 25 May 2012 10:18 AM PDT

Apparently running a museum is enough to qualify you to judge whether a bank's risk is too big. At least according to JPMorgan Chase.

The committee responsible for overseeing risks at JPMorgan includes Ellen Futter, the head of the American Museum of Natural History, Bloomberg reports. Futter also sat on the governance committee of AIG in 2008 right before the firm's infamous collapse. Other committee members include the CEO of a defense contractor and a man who hasn't worked on Wall Street for 25 years. What the committee's missing that all the other big banks have: people who worked as financial risk managers.

The makeup of JPMorgan's committee hasn't changed since 2008, but the bank was warned last year that it wasn't up to the task of monitoring the bank's risk. CtW Investment Group, a labor-backed shareholder group, sought to remove Futter and urged the bank to increase the committee's authority, according to Reuters.

Huffington Post: Romney Argues Big Spending Cuts Would Cause 'Depression,' Contrary To Tea Party Activists

Posted: 25 May 2012 10:24 AM PDT

Republican House Speaker John Boehner and GOP Presidential nominee Mitt Romney have, in the course of the past week, pushed starkly different approaches to fiscal policy and economic recovery, a window into a broader rift within the GOP between the Tea Party and less absolutist conservatives.

Boehner, carrying the Tea Party line on spending, recently said that he would insist that the deficit be cut by a dollar for every dollar increase in the debt limit, or else he would refuse to raise it, helping drive the country toward default.

"When the time comes, I will again insist on my simple principle of cuts and reforms greater than the debt limit increase," Boehner said.
