Clinton supported that reform when she was in congress. They put me and my ex though the most degrading crap I've ever seen. It was designed to put you in your place. From the online "test" with answers easily available online (No shit, just look up the answers so what was the point) to the 2 hours spent on the phone with someone telling you how to budget your money like you're 10 years old.

They allowed people to steal everything I had and then made me grovel to get help. If I hadn't been so deep in debt I'd have just stopped. Anyway, that's just another reason on the list of reasons I won't support her. Ever.

Great vid and thanks.

would be filing bankruptcy in DROVES. This was devised strictly to cut their losses. Bastards.

along with every other female Democratic Senator, correct?
remember all the claims that this was an endorsement?
so much manure in that campaign there is no room for any other substance.

That LIE, repeated over & over & over here at DU, became fact for many people.

And it isn't true. She signed a letter because if she didn't she would have been the only Democratic woman in the senate not to sign it.

Its called politics.

STEPHANOPOULOS: You've been pretty clear, and we showed it in Jeff Zeleny's piece, that you say you're not running for president in 2016. It seems like you've just affirmed it again.

You also signed a letter -- several senators signed a letter earlier this year encouraging Hillary Clinton to run.

So is she your candidate in 2016?

WARREN: You know, all of the women -- Democratic women, I should say, of the Senate urged Hillary Clinton to run. And I hope she does.

STEPHANOPOULOS: You hope she does. And if she does, she is your candidate, you're going to endorse her?

WARREN: If Hillary -- Hillary is terrific.

STEPHANOPOULOS: You know, you've said she is terrific very many times. You say that again in this book, "A Fighting Chance." But this book leaves out something of a pointed criticism from your earlier book, "The Two Income Trap."

There you praised first lady Hillary Clinton for her opposition to this bankruptcy bill pushed by the big banks, but go on to talk about how she, as New York senator, seemed she could not afford that principled position.

Senator Clinton received 140,000 in campaign contributions from banking industry executives in a single year. Big banks were now part of Senator Clinton's constituency. She wanted their support, and they wanted hers, including a vote in favor of that awful bill.

So do you think that -- are you worried that somehow she will bow to big business, those were your words in that book, if she becomes president?

WARREN: Look, I've made it clear all the way through this book and really what I've been working on for the last 25 years, that I'm worried a lot about power in the financial services industry.

It's hard to see how she could possibly still endorse HRC will the nomination is still in play.

On one side, you hear them talking about fighting for the middle class, but on the other side they allow themselves to sign bad legislation in the name of working across the isle. I, for one, am done with that. I hope Hillary would be too if elected but I'll support Bernie until then. At least we got FMLA under Clinton. The rest of it was just a bunch of give backs to the whiny rich people puppeteers controlling the congress.

she says, what the fuck does that even mean in the context of governing anyway? Cut it out, thats policy? We're truly fucked if that is what we're faced with in the future, a president who says to whoever, cut it out.

Well, there you go, tuff on banks.

The Clintons biggest fear is that she will indorse, or worse yet, run as VP for Sanders. Like Bernie, no one has enough $ to buy her off.
