(57,936 posts)Warren is an expert on bankruptcy law.
Biden helped to get a bankruptcy law passed that makes student and education loans virtually not dischargeable in bankruptcy, closing bankruptcy courts to students whose lives are ruined by their education debts.
I don't think Warren is going to give up on her life-long battle for fairness in our economic and banking system for the flattering idea of running for VP with Biden who lost badly in the primaries in 2008 to both Hillary and Obama.
I would seriously rethink my support of her if she did that.
Of all people, she knows how we are burdening our kids with debt they shouldn't owe.
Biden is a friend of the banks. He will bear the same onerous burden as Hillary especially if things continue to be edgy on Wall Street.
Wall Street recovered from the Friday massacre this time, but a lot of people lost money in that short run on their accounts. That is going to change the tone in the financial markets and it is not going to sweeten them. It was a test of vulnerabilities.
A friend of banks and Wall Street at this moment is not a friend of ordinary Americans.
Biden is also pro-TPP and a lot of other things Americans are not in the mood to stomach right now. Biden/Warren is a non-starter.
