Is there actually any proof that that is the only reason she got her job?
I know this is the talking point du jour to run with against Warren, beamed into your myopic brains from whatever talk radio host you worship.
The fact that the banking lobby didn't want her appointed speaks volumes.
I'm sure there are many other reasons for her to have received the position at Harvard instead of candidates that didn't lie, but for those of us who don't embrace Gruberism, her purposeful deception, being so much an essential component of her efforts to accomplish a personal goal, becomes a deal breaker.
As for that banking lobby, don't you worry about them because they'll win her over the same way they did Clinton who gave us Riegle-Neal, the repeal of Glass-Steagal and unregulated derivatives on the advice of Ruben, Summers and Raines.
According to Bubba, Warren is already on record as saying no banks failed as a result of the repeal of Glass-Steagal, so it would seem that with all her talk about reinstating regulation she has done an effective job misrepresenting herself once again.
The idea that Elizabeth Warren is radical on par with tea party screamers is indicative of how skewed some people's views are of the left/right position of the US. There's no doubt she's left of Ted Cruz, but by European standards she is a moderate at best.
And if the best smear the Republicans have on her is this Native American thing, that's pretty sad.
Elizabeth Warren seems to be the Ted Cruz of the Left. Did you think the Republicans had trouble handling Tea Party dissidents? Wait until you see how the next couple years work out for the Dems, with the progressive's radical agenda of war on prosperity and their battle against economic literacy.
She's a multimillionaire! Socialism is for the people, not the socialists.
"Today my brother lives on his Social Security. That's about $1,100 a month. $13,200 a year." Now, Elizabeth Warren's net worth is $14.5 million, her brother lives on $13,000 from Social Security, and she's up bellyaching about the chained CPI because of the limits in the increase in benefits her brother and other Social Security recipients are gonna get. Her brother lives on $13,000 a year. She has millions of dollars. Now, are families not supposed to help each other anymore?
The economic brainiac's gave us the economic collapse of 2008.
Obviously.
Millions of people who believed that "You cannot lose money in real estate," secretaries flipping condos in Vegas, they had nothing to do with it.
The raw fact is, if every borrower had made payments in accordance with the contractual agreements they signed, there never would have been a mortgage crisis.
If you must blame an institution instead of all those deadbeats, look at the government and its corrupt bastard offspring, Fannie and Freddie.'
The danger in Warrenism is the demonization of banks, a vital part of a healthy economy. This pogrom distracts from the failures of regulation that helped cause the crisis, as well as absolving the deadbeats from any responsibility at all. If her philosophy prevails, we'll all be poorer as a result. Hope you like the taste of tree bark and grass.
I would love to see her run a national campaign as her true self. Can you say "48 state loss"?
That's what I think. Particularly only 8 years after we elected someone from Harvard law school, who was a less-than-one-term US Senator, based on identity politics, who has careened from one disaster to the next.

“House prices have risen by nearly 25 percent over the past two years. Although speculative activity has increased in some areas, at a national level these price increases largely reflect strong economic fundamentals.”

Many of the banks simply made up financial statements for those they gave loans to. Yes, if they had made the payments all would have been swell but it was impossible for them to have done that. We arrest the junky in this country but we also arrest the pusher.

Yes, and on that front she is exactly what this country needs.
She would get my vote, but for sadly casting stature and credibility gained there to the four winds by jumping on the progressive "climate change" and LGBT bandwagons.
