Elizabeth Warren Smacks Down Wall Street Bankers

"Sen. Elizabeth Warren's (D-Mass.) meeting with bank regulators Thursday left bankers reeling, after the politician questioned why regulators had not prosecuted a bank since the financial crisis.

At one point, Warren asked why big banks' book value was lower, when most corporations trade above book value, saying there could be only two reasons for it."*

Senator Elizabeth Warren slammed bank regulators by aggressively hammering one simple question: why have they not prosecuted a single bank since the financial crisis? Wall Street is reeling, perhaps they don't appreciate someone finally treating them like the crooks they are? Cenk Uygur and Ben Mankiewicz break it down.

LOL.... So a typo is all you got? Let me know if you can refute any of my genius points!

[GabrielSparkletits]

Did you literally say "suppose to" and then call someone a dumbass? Fucking moron.

*yawn*.... So you are a capitalist. I'm suppose to sulute you? You criticize the tea party for what? The tea party stands for the US constitution as founded which is the basis of this country. So, while you do NOT stand for that, what exactly do you stand for? Let me guess, Wealth redstribution. the govt should confiscate wealth as they see fit and hand it to others. Yeah That is what anyone against a tea party would be for. Socialism is what you want! Dumbass!

i have to say not to be negative. but "your true colors emerge" is a pretty funny statement as though it was some sort of hidden agenda.Unlike you i guess i dont delegate my way of thinking to be encompassed to a group or word. i believe in doing what is right. i believe in the concept our nation was based on not what the Tea party says its based on. i beleive in honor in a historical reference and not what republicans call honorable. so rather then beating the negative drum open your mind.

[SRT480]

Beat your drum boss :) I served my country as a soldier and i served again as a contractor as does my wife. what do you do? fly flags and say support the troops and freedom. Liberal politicians like any other politicians have done little if anything for the good of mankind. but liberal people do make a difference.as to why are those systems worse off. that comes to paradigms on how do things which is similar to turn of the century and budgets allotted.

I see, so your true colors emerge. One thing about liberals you can always pinpoint them in 3 messages or less. You pretended to be independent. But then you spoke up and thus revealed you are anything but. Your words are liberally twisted. Liberals want good will of manking? You belive that bs? Then tell me in the last 60+ years what liberalism has fixed or even made better off? Education? Welfare? Social Security? Jobs? healthcare? etc... Why are they ALL far worse off today? Look at results!
