Warren Torches GOP On Economy: 'We Tried It for 30 years, It Was 'Nearly Catastrophic'
"The Republicans have a pretty simple philosophy: they say if those at the top have more — more power for Wall Street players to do whatever they want and more money for tax cuts than somehow they can be counted on to build the economy for everyone else," Warren said. "Well, we tried it for 30 years and it didn’t work. In fact the consequences were nearly catastrophic."
....................
"We tested the Republican ideas and they failed, they failed spectacularly. There’s no denying that fact," Warren said. "We know the importance of accountability on Wall Street —the benefits of having a better educated work force. The advantages that come from investments of high speed rail and medical research."
The senator from Massachusetts, near the end, interestingly, did also seem to suggest there should be some introspection in the Democratic party.
"People across this country get it. Sure, there’s a lot of work to be done and there’s a long way to go before Democrats can reclaim the right to say that we’re fighting for America’s working people, that we’re fighting to build a future not just for some of our children but for all of our children," Warren said. "No, we’re not there yet but don’t forget the good news. Our agenda is America’s agenda."

I didn't see any mention of the ACA ("Obamacare"
in the post.
Glad you're here! Yeah, we get it, though. I totally understand your urgency! Hell, MY problem is too much shouting, and I'm sure every DUer here would agree with that! Sometimes I find I'm using capital letters way too often, but then again, sometimes I just get so desperate to spread a meme or point something out or assist in some way that I just can't help myself. So I think this would also serve as an apology to the rest of our brothers and sisters of DU, who somehow find it in their hearts to put up with me nonetheless, patient forgiving souls that they are. I SHOUT, DAMMIT!!!!! Love me ANYWAY!!!!!
And I think she should tweak her "dump trickle down" speech a tad. Explain trickle down as Ronald Reagan's (or the Republican Party'a, or Republican'ss) experiment. Explain Democracy as an experiment. Remember going into the lab with the directions for your experiment? You do the experiment, write down your results and then write the chemical equation. And show your work.
Reaganomics was a failed experiment. The measurements were off. The experiment that was performed to prove a thesis failed miserably. So we need to go back to the lab and start all over again. We have to keep trying, until we get the equation right.
Comprende?
Reagonomics = epic fail!!!! 
Maybe this will wake the party up as to what to do since she is in the communication side of the new post that was created just for her, just to remind everyone that she is going to do her job, now its time for the democrats to do theirs , and call out the Wall Street crowd everyday behind the public podium and the right wing republicans that there message is nothing except greed and to dismantle this country for private use for more greed
