Elizabeth Warren Appreciation Thread

[myrna minx]

85. Elizabeth Warren sounded the clarion call for economic reform *years* before she was a politician.

In fact, it was her outrage about the great bank swindle that inspired me to work on overdrive to get out of my personal debt entanglements.

Prior to her educated Frontline outrage about the banksters, I thought I'd be in debt forever. I thought I would always be beholden to the likes of Citi etc - making my minimum payments...forever. We've now accepted that Modern "Middle Class" debt is as American as apple pie.

When she proffered that it was unconscionable that Americans accept a lifetime of debt, I saw a possibility of a debt free life, and constructed a way to claw my way out. I set up a time frame and after 4 years, I was able to pay it all off. Her outrage about fees and interest rates made me look at the totality of my situation. I'm fortunate to be able to do so, but *many* can't. She's there to inspire those who can and never thought they could pay off their crippling debt *and* protect those who can't.

There are many, many more who can't claw their way out, but I'm grateful to her for educating a minimum payment person drowning in debt by empowering her to not live by and futilely accepting bankster debt culture. I'm forever grateful to her for showing me a different future for myself - one that's not beholden to the big banks.

The fact that there are people here calling her a liar because she disagrees with the president about this "free trade" deal, makes me ill.

If I'm forced to choose - I'll stand with Elizabeth Warren - a tried and true economic populist.
