Elizabeth Warren | Radio Ad: "Still at it"

http://www.elizabethwarren.com
Did you see the headline? One of America's biggest banks lost $2 billion in just a few weeks. Even now, Wall Street banks that got bailed out are still at it, gambling recklessly. This is Elizabeth Warren. I stood up to big banks. I took on their army of lobbyists and helped win the fight for a consumer protection agency. But there's still more to do. Wall Street isn't going to change its ways until Washington gets serious about strong oversight and real accountability. No special deals. We need a tough cop on the beat to make sure that nobody steals your purse on Main Street or your pension on Wall Street. Problem is, in Washington money talks -- and Wall Street has plenty of money to spread around. So Wall Street gets all the special breaks while working families get hammered. That's what I want to change.

More regulation, more tough cops on the beat, more government jobs. How do working families not get hammered with increased taxes to support these valiant efforts?

How would these watchdog efforts be funded?

[Finian27]

How about Elizabeth for OK, then?

[Finian27]

She would be much more angry if they MADE $2b. Eh?

The issue in the Housing crash was not the lack of government regulation. The real fact is that government passed laws REQUIRING banks to make loans to families in order to purchase homes, even when these loans were otherwise financially unsound. The government did not permit the banks to charge an appropriate premium interest rate for the extra risk inherent in these government sponsored loans.Banks were unable to make enough money to stay in business, thanks to bullshit government regulations.
