Oh goody, another addition to the Obama hoop shooting team, because that's about all any of them know how to do. With their track record for the last 2 years she's automatically discredited, we've all seen the severe lack of brain power from this group when it comes to running our country, if it weren't soooooooo true, it would be hilarious. A little over 2 years ago all we heard was the Pubs have no clue and no ideas, well you dopes got your dream team voted in and they have less of a clue and fewer ideas than the Pubs had. Our current president and administration have less of a clue about running this country than most 7th graders, absolutely appalling, vote the dumb mass bums out in November and get some real change, not this BS we've watched take place for the last 2 years. We need adults running this country, not 60's hippies that never grew up!

Prof E. Warren has direction for consumer protection that the

American people need to evade the financial rape on their everyday transactions. Get with it USA!

And that would (should) make, the 'philosophically correct' conservatives crowd happy. As that would be a classic case of the 'market doing it's own regulating'.

tuh-duh! Everybody's happy! The nutty government coddled bureaucrats and the nutty free range dick armies.

In theory. :)

bferg,

Me too, I would like her to give weekly updates. Now, with technology, I think it would be a good idea for ALL our 'public servants' to give weekly updates to the public they are supposed to serve. With technology as it is, there's really NO EXCUSE not too. I mean if their (the 'NEW AND IMPROVED' government that is in most of the democrats chatter) isn't just typical-liberal-ancient-rhetoric. I mean if it's not that and we really are on the cusp of a 'new era in government', then let's see some substance for a change.

What a great feeling to know someone of her talent is in an important position to help us. Her answers were clear, understandable to all, and non political. I want to hear from her often.

What insanity, debt backed money, politicians in the pocket of bankers and Warren/Moyers leading the way right over the cliff. Thanks for the comments Nate, Freedoms Vision is the way. The swarms must win the day. SwarmUSA.COm, The American Party PAC

Utopian vision - Elizabeth Warren and Bill Moyers - leading this country!

Thanks Nate, that sounds like it would be right up my ally. Here's another good one. Go to youtube and type in "Money as Debt". Also google "the money changers". There's a very informative 3-4 hour documentary on the history of 'Central Banks'.

The established liberal media whined, cryed, and complained all through the 90s as 'conservative media talk-gurus' stole much of their, previously, captivated audience. But it was their own fault. They opened the door for their extremist opposites by leaning too far to the left (BY MISREPRESENTING THE TRUTH) (and just being arrogant pigs, basically). Now the same thing is going to happen in the other direction to the wonderful world of 'Finance'. And it's these Dick Armys of the world, it's their own dam faults.

It boils down to a choice of a lesser of two evils for the majority of people trying to make an honest living. If either side (republicans & democrats) had their way completely, they would drive this country right off a cliff, and not even flinch, EVEN after they drove off the edge. They really are that psychotic (just look at Army Dick). ... politicians are a different breed, and don't you ever forget it.

What a factual disaster. Elizabeth Warren's complete lack of training in economics and finance is painfully self evident.

Her fundamental view appears to be that profits are bad, business is evil, and the only thing out to save the hapless consumer is the benevolence of a government regulator. Anything that takes from the nameless corporation and gives to the little guy is good, but she completely misses that the nameless corporation is owned by the little guy's pension fund, employees the little guys uncle, and sells the products that the little guy's family relies on.

1) FACT: The average bank regulator is under thirty years old. Is it realistic to believe that a group of twenty somethings are going to successfully implement some utopian regulation that allows only good things to happen? Or is the more likely scenario that regulators will be bamboozled by bankers and/or engage in random acts of badness because they're too young and lack the knowledge to know what's actually going on?

2) FACT: Credit cards used to only be for the rich whose credit was good without question. Is THAT the world Elizabeth Warren wants to go back to?!

The most biting analysis I've seen came from an econ phd @ falkenblog.blogspot.com, "She's on TV shows all the time because journalists and left-wingers agree with her conclusions, and she's from Harvard, so she can make an absurd statement and get away with it because we all know Harvard contains only the Best of the Best in thought. She contributed to John Edward's book, Ending Poverty in America published in early 2007, which argued for more home ownership in America via what came to be known as NINJA loans. The consequence of that objective, in her mind, is merely another random opportunity for the government to help the little guy."

Finally, someone has explained clearly what happened over the last 25 years, AND why despite the multiple bailouts with TARP ... the U.S. and world economy continues to teeter.

This "transcript" and accompanying video interview should be distribted as widely as possible: grade schools, high schools, colleges, universities -- but especially in Congress.

Professor Warren's agenda was very clear, the path back for the U.S. to once again become a powerful, stable economy is to put HOUSEHOLDS at the center of every congressional dialogue.

Unfortunately, Wall Street and big bankers slowly seized the central role of households over the last 30 years as the lead generators of wealth in the guise of "the unregulated free market". In priciple the philosophy was sound, but in practice human nature (greed) eventually prevailed.

I find it extremely ironic another professor, Muhammad Yunus, has won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2006 for essentially envisioning a "micro version" of households as creators of wealth in conceiving the concept of Grameen Bank for the rural poor of India.

Now that was a real economic challenge ... met ... and ... conquered -- without much government intervenion and without income redistribution!

Is it possible to imagine a comparable solution for the U.S.? Hopefully.

Thirty plus years into the "Information Age" perhaps some answers to fundmental U.S. problems can be "rediscovered" outside our own borders.

Elizabeth Warren gives me the sense that she has no agenda beyond shielding consumers from the shark filled waters of

finance. Where livings are skimmed from nothing better than the time element of specualtion there will be greater fools strewn all across the landscape of America; if you don't have your future contractually sealed look out. Increasingly musical chairs has become the model for job opportunity too and that ripple effect trickles down to small business hopes for even break even demand.

How have the rating agencies managed to stay out of the sights of congressional committees when their nepotist boardroom relationships waved on all that bogus paper. When scrutiny for the meltdown falls it seems always to fall on the SEC or the FED, not that they didn't drop the ball or worse too but the ratings agencies seem to have a special talent for invisibility. Organized crime has evolved to become institutionalized crime that lives between the lines of regualtions meant to keep it honest.

Why in God's Name are you pushing the Fed's position in this, Charles??? In any case consumers are already ahead of everyone. They are shifting to debit cards. We would all be better off with no credit (see my comment re Armey). No Chapter 11 either. It seems to me she believes that the Fed pulled no one back from anything of importance to the country as a whole. If so, that is correct.

And Congress needs to kick the banking lobbyists out. STOP LISTENING TO THEM!!! They're drunk in their greed!

Another very educational interview, it's mood lifting to see intellectuals who are also smart. Her and Stiglitz verbalizing what most people know to be the truth in the back of their heads. Give this lady ALL the power she needs to rescue America. Get Volcker back in there. Stiglitz too.

What's professor Robuini been up to?
