Katie Porter: "The point of hearings is not for politicians to talk. It's for the American people...

to get answers."
Just now on Chris HAyes.
She is so good! And who better than a financial expert to be on the finance committee. Bet she's making a lot of people really nervous. She will be another ELizabeth Warren.

I generally hate hearings because far too many congresscritters--even the ones I like!--spend their time pontificating instead of Getting To The Point. I don't wanna hear speeches, I want to air out the facts.
