Batman, Spiderman and Superman - All Rolled In to One
Batman, Spiderman and Superman - All Rolled In to One
An indefatigable advocate for the ordinary American citizen, Senator Elizabeth Warren is the poster child for the incorruptible government official. Now, as the Senior Senator from Massachusetts and as the Chair of the Senate Banking Committee, Warren is in the right place to affect positive change for the Nation. This is very good news.
The bad news is that Senator Warren is one of only a handful of legislators in the US Congress willing to advocate on behalf of ordinary American citizens and she's now in her sixties. The vast majority of our legislators have largely sold themselves out to financial, industrial and political firms and institutions in return for campaign finance contributions. This is a catastrophic situation for America - we have been reduced to a plutocracy ruled by oligarchs.
As Senator Warren points out in her book, challenging the banking industry and the lobbyists that represent them is a very difficult and unending task, particularly since much of the regulatory framework that kept them in check has been dismantled (beginning in the early 1980's during the Reagan Administration). Warren has fought with them for years to try to protect American consumers but every time she wins a battle the industry regroups and comes back for another fight. They have no shortage of financial resources and determination to drive the legislative process to pass laws and institute a regulatory framework that works in their interest - they are like that mythical beast of Anglo-Saxon lore that grows back two heads every time you slay it.
Every intelligent, objective and fair-minded citizen should read Professor Warren's book. She is one of our Nation's foremost experts on the law as it relates to bankruptcy, business, economics and finance and her motivation is justice and equity. You will also understand why Thomas Jefferson had warned the Nation about bankers in 1812 when he said, "Beware of bankers for they are more dangerous than a standing army."
