“Atlas Shrugs” - Statement Of CFTC Commissioner Bart Chilton Regarding Margin Requirement Rulemaking

Date 12/04/2011

In her seminal 1957 novel, Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand explored the negative effects of governmental overreaching into the private sector.  As we now undertake the Herculean task of developing wide-ranging rules for an entire new market structure, we are intensely aware that we must not stifle necessary and legitimate business activity that is critical to the engine of our economy.  We don’t want to “shrug,” and topple the globe off our shoulders.  At the same time, we need to make sure we’re protecting against systemic risk and providing needed safeguards for markets and consumers.  It’s a fine balance, and requires constant review and interaction with those affected by these changes.

Date 12/04/2011

Thank you very much.  It’s good to be with you this morning.  I want to especially thank James Gillies for the kind invitation to speak with you today.  If the government had shut down, I wouldn’t have been able to be with you in person.  While I was one of the fortunate few who would have still been paid, traveling during a shut down isn’t allowed. The only exception is for emergencies.  I don’t think one of you doubling down and splitting tens would have qualified as an emergency. But for heaven’s sake, don’t do it!  Let’s get started.
