Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) railed against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Wednesday for failing to support her student loan refinancing proposal, which the Senate killed in a 56-38 vote earlier in the day.
"Mitch McConnell is there for millionaires and billionaires," Warren said. "He is not there for people who are working hard playing by the rules and trying to build a future for themselves."

(13,485 posts)Just these two things alone would completely change the United States and would return US politics to a democracy by the people:
1. Return the filibuster rules to their original form
2. Repeal Citizens United with a constitutional amendment and limit corporate and individual donations
Of all the possible positive things we can do to better America, just these two alone would change EVERYTHING.
I can think of a whole list of other things that would improve our country but those two above would set the ball rolling and the rest would fall in line.
I could also add impeachment or a couple of Supreme Court justices but I wanted to be realistic.
What he said!
