The article tries to be a hit piece on Warren, but only endears her to me and other thinking Americans.
Law and financial firms are full of retreads from positions in the government. They use their knowledge of the fine print, convoluted language and tedious contradictions in our law to "help" their clients and screw the American people. (And I never use the word "screw" in polite or even impolite conversation so you know I am trying to express myself in the strongest language possible here.)
Why can't the administration hire a lawyer who specializes in defending or prosecuting on behalf of ordinary people say in civil courts for a change? Why do they always have to choose people for these top jobs who have never fought a bank, never challenged a corporation, never pursued a tax cheat? Why can't s certain share of these appointments be made to lawyers or other talented people who are fighters for a fair deal for all Americans?
Why do they always choose those who get rich defending, advising and supporting the tax cheats, the polluters, the poisoners and all the other numb defenders of the corrupt status quo? How about a little creativity in these appointments. Why not work toward a balance and a meeting of minds and interests between those who represent the very wealthy and those who represent the rest of the country -- the majority of citizens?
Why is our government, no matter who is in power, so utterly unresourceful, so utterly lacking in creativity and originality and research when making these awful, singularly unimaginative and unsatisfactory appointments? What is with these people? What is wrong with the Obama advisers who are making the same mistakes that presidents have made since FDR? Taking the easy comfortable route instead of including people who come from different backgrounds?
Shouldn't be all social reformers or people who looked into Wall Street and the banks and corporations from the outside. But shouldn't be such a corporate, Wall Street, banker heavy bunch either. How about some balance?
