That's what the Left does, they stifle their opposition while allowing their allies to do the exact same thing and they cheer it on. I see Lefties think banks and corps should disclose their political spending, but unions are as dark as they come when it comes to where their money goes and the Left is fine with that.

Absolutely. And when you are on the SENATE BANKING COMMITTEE, start with the BANKS.

Labor laws require that unions disclose their political spending.

I don't think we need to protect big banking from abuse by the banking committee they seem to have the upper hand. If you want to start a thread on disclosure then be my guest. This is not a liberal vs right issue, I would hope every one can see that money is corrupting our democracy and banking is in the lead.

I was put on Medi-Cal, the California Medicaid program, because they said I didn't make enough money to be on a subsidized plan. (Which would have cost me 1 dollar a month, and I wouldn't have to pay anything back) Besides that inane logic, they will not tell me what premium they will be charging my estate after I pass away. It could be thousands a month! I would rather pay now and KNOW what it is. How can they charge you and not tell you the amount. That is ludacris! There is no transparency at all, dead or alive, one needs to know what they will be taking. The truth in lending law should apply everywhere!

The tribe she claims ancestry to says she's a phony.
The Cherokee keep excellent records; she ain't one of em.

Disgusting. Elizabeth Warren is a disgrace to the United States Senate. He entire career is based on lies and academic fraud. The people of Massachusetts need to dump her the first chance they get.
Replace her with what? Another liar and fraud? That's all our politicians are from the top down.

Something like that - although the left called GZ a "white Hispanic" and he looks a whole lot less "white" than the senator from Mass.
