“Sen. Elizabeth Warren sharply criticized regulators on Thursday for failing to meet most of the deadlines of the Dodd-Frank Act and said lawmakers shouldn’t wait until that law is fully implemented before taking more action to end “too big to fail.”

“The Massachusetts Democrat said the delays heighten the need to address the perception that troubled large institutions will be bailed out by the government in the event of another crisis.

“She said she didn’t ‘understand the logic’ of that argument.”
