I suggest you read at least one of these so you can understand where I come up with that claim from: “The People’s Ledger,” “Systemically Significant Prices,” and “The Climate Case for a national Investment Authority,” plus others that are somewhat less clearly anti individual sole control of their own wealth, although the whispers of it are still there. Her thesis, “Karl Marx’s Economic Analysis and The Theory of Revolution in The Capital” has mysteriously disappeared from Moscow State University, but my guess based on the title would be her it’s not much different than her writing in the past five or so years, which are available. It is just amazing that you are acting like I have dreamed up these claims out of nowhere when I have read HER OWN WRITTEN WORDS and you are basing your assessment on I have no clue, but clearly not her own written words.

It is very much a legitimate point - says the person who has actually read her work.

None of those papers referenced = communist.

She is, WITHOUT ANY QUESTION, a true communist.

Any Republicans that supports her nomination should be voted out of office by the people they are supposed to be protecting since her goal is to destroy the United States. There is no way in hell that this communist should be in charge of our banking institutions.

She is straight up Red and I bet she still loves all the failed ideals of the Soviet Union, that led to their destruction.

Plus, she was arrested shoplifting and we’re going to give her control of the banking industry???

I truly do not understand why the people, who control Biden want to destroy the country…. Seriously, Biden is a brain dead to have a though of his own… Any time this idiots says something, he told by his handlers to immediately change it. This dumb@zz puppet doesn’t have the brain power to couldn’t balance a check book.

The senators were quite welcome to question her credentials rather than digressing into McCarthy. That line of questioning was absurd and childish.

Did you feel the same way about the excoriation of Justice Brent Kavanaugh? bringing up an imaginary incident from high school with no solid corroborating evidence whatsoever...?

Then what is the point of this topic?

In her specific work you haven't read.

It is a very legitimate point given her birth, her being raised and educated in the Soviet system, her subsequent writings and statements.

First you criticize John Kennedy, pretending that he only attacked her based on where she was born, and then, when the actual, substantive questions are shown, you ignore the substance of the question.

A witness can take as long they want to answer, but a Senator only gets 5 minutes to ask questions so they ask them all at once, knowing if they don't, the witnesses will give a long winded answer to one question and not allow the others to be asked. The purpose is to get all the questions out. You don't really expect an answer, but you want the questions in the record and in public.

I read the entire " The People's Ledger: How to Democratize Money and Finance the Economy". It is only 71 pages and half of that is footnotes. The paper is her ideas on how do get rid of private finance and have the government decide on what of worthy of funding and what is not. That is scary indeed.

Hey The Left wanted to back to someone's junior year in high school to say they were unfit for office, so a senior college paper seems like fair game, especially given everything she has said and written since then.
