Article: It's Elizabeth Warren 2016, or the Same Old sh*t

On Tuesday, fierce consumer advocate and needler of banks Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) called out Wall Street regulators for their habit of giving tepid punishments to misbehaving banks, and asked the agencies to justify their policy of settling with the wrongdoers out of court.

It sort of makes you proud to be a Democrat, doesn't it?

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) unveiled her first bill Wednesday, designed to set student loan interest rates at the same level the Federal Reserve offers to big banks.

Feel that tingle? It could be pride!

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.

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) made it clear Wednesday in an email to supporters that not only would she oppose President Barack Obama's plan to cut Social Security benefits through a cost-of-living adjustment known as chained CPI, but that she was "shocked to hear" it was included in the White House's budget proposal at all.
Warren said her brother David lives on the $13,200 per year he receives in Social Security benefits. "I can almost guarantee that you know someone -- a family member, friend, or neighbor -- who counts on Social Security checks to get by," she wrote.

An excerpt from her e-mail to her followers reads: That's why I was shocked to hear that the President's newest budget proposal would cut $100 billion in Social Security benefits. Our Social Security system is critical to protecting middle class families, and we cannot allow it to be dismantled inch by inch. The President's policy proposal, known as "chained CPI," would re-calculate the cost of living for Social Security beneficiaries. That new number won't keep up with inflation on things like food and health care -- the basics that we need to live. In short, "chained CPI" is just a fancy way to say "cut benefits for seniors, the permanently disabled, and orphans." </blockquote>That's a Democrat fighting for seniors, the permanently disabled, and orphans, and that's what I signed up for!I didn't sign up for a never-ending orgy with 500 horny CEOs! ELIZABETH WARREN FOR PRESIDENT 2016! Or you can settle for the same old sh*t. </div></div> ORIGINALLY POSTED TO <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.dailykos.com/blog/Frank%20Whitaker/">FRANK WHITAKER</a> ON FRI MAY 17, 2013 AT 09:45 PM PDT.
