Apr 2019

As Chair of TARP Oversight where she was pretty much a lone voice in the wilderness in that Wall Street dominated milieu. That's about when I first remember seeing her on Keith and Maher. Her great skill of explaining complex economics in not just simple but moral language made her an immediate favorite guest on Maher especially.

I recently saw a (utube?) excerpt of Professor Elizabeth Warren delivering expert (and prophetic) testimony against passage of the Bankruptcy Bill in Senate Hearings (2005?) An even earlier case of Warren being Warren despite the thinly veiled condescension/misogyny from the male senators sponsoring passage of that cruel,dreadful bill. Well worth viewing.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

That was the one where Biden called her testimony a "mildly demagogic argument," right? Demit Apr 2019 #13

She was drowned out with idiotic "Moral Hazard" tirades.Yet she persisted(!) stuffmatters Apr 2019 #18

I think she's pretty unflappable. Biden, I noticed, got a little flustered in that exchange. Demit Apr 2019 #19

"Unflappable" is perfect.Gotta say, I'm chortling to myself in anticipation of the reckoning(s) stuffmatters Apr 2019 #20
