We got this BS story that the bonuses could not have been stopped because of contracts and what have you. It's easy. Tear up the contract or go under. No, the entire fiasco was nothing more than making sure the banks were saved from any of the harm they helped create and she was one of the ones that made sure of that.

She could actually do something now but she is simply standing on the wall and telling the banks that she is going to fart in their generally direction and they will take it.

I don't think anyone would accuse her of standing on the wall, not much you can do about contracts already in place, she has been critical of investment banks for years problem is there are too many other senators that have no interest in doing something to correct the issue

I noted what you can do about contracts already in place. Being "critical" of anything is simply a waste of time. Nothing gets accomplished by her "you're bad, bad I tell you".

Although I do agree with her that SOMETHING serious needs to be done but does anyone find it odd that all she does is the same thing... TALK... hey Warren, if you are interested in doing something.... DO IT... its bad enough that she accuses them of doing nothing when she herself has done nothing other than talking...
