After Getting Called Out, Elizabeth Warren Accuses Obama Of Deliberately Hiding Trade Details - Huff

[JonLP24]

19. Bankruptcy law

She doesn't have a background in economics or did specifically so it is understandable, I do I ran into people arguing myths all-the-time "especially the because of this they will be forced to raise their prices" variety as if the previous prices were coming from the goodness of their hearts but when you look. As an adviser specialized in bankruptcy law she was exposed to the shit big business gets away with & her record is very strong. Her recent Senate career she scored a 90 on her voting record as rated by ADA most recently & top 10 most liberal as rated by GovTrack (tracks a variety of behaviors but not voting) a little to the left of Bernie Sanders.

I'm generally suspicious of rhetoric -- especially on committees (are they really outraged or showboating?)

Obama actually said that if this was the 80's he'd be a "moderate Republican" -- http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/obama-revealed-a-moderate-republican/2011/04/25/AFPrGfkE_story.html WTF? This is 2015

This concerns me & don't justify it but since 99% politicians advocate for direct subsidies (they should stop) because of campaign contributions she still comes out as one of the best of the best but I'll still criticize her for it as well as praise her on moves I feel are correct.

Elizabeth Warren takes care of defense business back home

Elizabeth Warren’s standing as a liberal warrior immune to the influence of Big Business hasn’t stopped her from pushing the interests of major defense contractors back home.

Warren has fought to stop the Army from shifting funds away from a Massachusetts-built communications network to pay for unanticipated costs associated with the war in Afghanistan. She’s lobbied for problem-plagued General Dynamics-made tactical radios. And she’s pledged to protect Westover Air Reserve Base from the budget ax — all while saying she supports “targeted” cuts elsewhere.

Warren didn’t respond to questions as she walked to a vote in the Capitol, and an aide referred POLITICO to the senator’s spokeswoman, Lacey Rose, who also didn’t respond to repeated requests for comment. But the half-dozen industry insiders who were interviewed painted a picture of a senator who’s willing to advocate for local defense firms but has no relationship with the industry on a national level.

“I have seen the senator and her team take a very active role in defense matters in Massachusetts,” said Joseph Donovan, a Boston-based defense lobbyist with Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough and a former aide to then-Gov. Mitt Romney. “I’ve been in roundtables that her office has organized with major defense contractors and small businesses.”

If she was running then I'd be suspicious of an undercover Reagan Republican but since she isn't I'm inclined to trust her more & would support a candidacy. Hypothetically if both Warren & Bernie Sanders were in a primary I'd support Sanders because of his experience & record but support Warren over practically any other name you can throw out there.
