4. I believe Hillary won't run. Now Warren? Neo-Corporatist.

Yes, she talks a good game. But why disn't she protest the nomination of Jack Lew as Treasury Secretary? He's a former investment banker who got huge bonuses from Wall Street just prior to taking this job.

Why didn't she adamantly oppose Janet Yellen for Fed Chair? Yellen has been a bankster most of her career.

I could support Warren if she had advocated someone from academia in these roles, but she was virtually silent as they merely brought in different foxes to watch the hen house.
