We were instructed by the third way swarm here at DU that people like her can't be elected. Can't act like this even if they do. And that you and I were supposed to stop wanting such things immediately.

I never stopped!

Done, first time ever around here for me.

Nothing is more important than hog tying the big banks, first, and then breaking them up into itty bitty pieces, second.
It's called introducing redundancy into the system, and considering the complexity of modern finance, you can't have too much redundancy.
You find this recommended by both the right - Taleb - and the left - Minsky. The only people who don't think it's a good idea are the folks on both sides who are bought & paid for.

Glad you're here! Seems a pity that the GOPers can't channel one of their own - Teddy Roosevelt. Isn't he the one whose nickname was "The Trust Buster"? They do clearly manifest which side they're on! I'm sure few if any people on the panel facing her questions had gone out of their way to try to seek justice - and hell, if you can't do it in your department, freakin' ASK YOUR COLLEAGUES OVER AT THE DOJ!!! THEY are in the position to do something about it! And if you aren't allowed to do that by law, as we're not allowed to fund studies of the impacts of gun violence on society, then dammit, change the freakin' law!

The other side is extraordinarily talented in finding ways around the law. WHERE are the thinkers on our side, who can figure out ways around the technicalities, the loopholes, the de-funding, and the legally hobbling obstacles that the other guys exploit and/or put in our way????

Oh yeah, and btw, kicking and rec'ing - with pleasure!!!

is speaking the truth. Too bad more politicians can't do the same. It's hard to get the truth out when the biggest lie out there is that the MSM is liberal, they sadly control the narrative.

It would be foolish to try to convince her she's wrong, but I'm sure she'll be on the receiving end of a lot of heat for asking questions that should have been asked long ago.

She knows what she's getting into, and I think she's ready for the heat. I also think they are very concerned about her position and where she's headed. We need more like Senator Warren, she's smart and she doesn't appear to compromise her beliefs easily.
