Wish she was running

Warren is a shrill liberal whose truthfullness is questioned few times. She is also not pragmatic in her approach. She is the Ted Cruz on the left. She could preach impractical extreme policies to appeal to the extreme wing of her party. She does say few good things every now and then but so does Ted Cruz.  She is good where she is.

warren is a passionate advocate of consumer rights. her essay here only calls for the government agencies to do the jobs they are supposed to be doing and to enforce the laws that already exist on the books properly. nothing impractical or extreme about that, and she is not even calling for new legislation. in particular she correctly notes that jamie dimon and others of his ilk are walking free today because of an ineffective SEC that is controlled by wall street.  

i note that the word "shrill" is indiscriminately applied to women politicians. to me bernie sanders sounds grating and codgerly and i don't particularly care for that horrible brooklyn jew accent, but i am willing to look past that and actually listen to him. if there is anyone who is impractical in american politics today, it's him.

You think Jamie dimon is free today because of sec. You are a novice in understanding us govt. Jamie dimon is free because obama did not want him to be thrown into jail. If the president wanted to he could have been very aggressive on wall street bankers but how can he hurt those who gave him millions in campaign contributions. If Warren is honest enough she should question both the president and the attorney general.

But the administration’s record on enforcement falls short —

It has repeatedly granted waivers so that lawbreaking companies can continue to enjoy special privileges, while the Justice Department has dodged one opportunity after another to impose meaningful accountability on big corporations and their executives.

The Obama Administration has made repeated
promises to strengthen enforcement and hold corporate
criminals accountable, and the DOJ announced in
September that it would place greater emphasis
on charging individuals responsible for corporate
crimes. Nonetheless, both before and after this DOJ
announcement, accountability for corporate crimes is
shockingly weak.
