Elizabeth Warren slams pro-Wall Street bill
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said Thursday that she will fight legislation in the Senate that would roll back key parts of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law. Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) said Thursday that she will fight legislation in the Senate that would roll back key parts of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law, just a week after the package made it out of the House Financial Services Committee with support from fellow Democrats.

Warren uses liberal clout selectively in new role. Sen. Elizabeth Warren supports new bill to break up big banks. Elizabeth Warren grilled Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew on the Obama administration's opposition to breaking up the big Wall Street banks that are "too big to fail." As a solution, Senators Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) and David Vitter (R-Louisiana) introduced a bipartisan bill to break up the big banks and prevent future bailouts.
AND
Sen. Elizabeth Warren Questions Regulators’ Willingness To Prosecute Wall Street Banks. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D) isn’t letting regulators off the hook for their lack of prosecutions of Wall Street banks in the wake of the financial crisis. After using her initial Senate Banking Committee hearing to press regulators about whether big banks are “too big to fail,” Warren is doing so again — this time in a letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Justice Department, and the Federal Reserve.
**************************************************************** Most people here are not followers of Sen Warren. She represents the hated left. But if ANYBODY is fighting for the country it's Elizabeth Warren! SOMEBODY has to, Obama sure won't.
The right wingers have had their greedy grip on the country far too long. And while they're winning elections thanks to the brain dead viewers of the Fox Opinion Channel, they're losing their moral high horse on just about every issue in the book.
That's what happens when you tip the scales so far to one side for far too long. People start to see what these assholes *REALLY* stand for. There are FAR too many gullible and ill-informed people (some of them proudly and willfully ill-informed!) who still vote for these wingnut morons.
With Warren's example (and a whole lot of work) we may yet be able to take our country back from the greed-driven madness that is our current out-of-control financial system.
I need a bumper sticker.
