I occasionally hear some of Elizabeth Warren's rhetoric which I agree with. She rails against bankers for instance. She has written books about how Americans make 30% less after inflation than they did in 1970. But wasn't Elizabeth Warren a big promoter of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau which was supposed to protect us from those evil banks?

"The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau [[CFPB) is an independent federal agency that holds primary responsibility for regulating consumer protection with regard to financial products and services in the United States."

"The bureau is an independent unit located inside and funded by the United States Federal Reserve, with interim affiliation with the U.S. Treasury Department. It writes and enforces rules for financial institutions, examines both bank and non-bank financial institutions, monitors and reports on markets, as well as collects and tracks consumer complaints." -wikipedia

Got that? Elizabeth Warren's idea of protecting us from big evil banks is to create a phony agency with a nice sounding name funded and located inside the Federal Reserve which is owned by those same big banks. Next thing you know, she'll be telling us she is an Indian. I'm thinking that she was assigned the role of good cop in a good cop/bad cop banker routine. I'm not planning to vote for her but I still like some of her rhetoric more than that of most democrats and many Republicans. Sometimes I want to imagine that she is the new Dennis Kucinich but she isn't.
