Elizabeth Warren's "Most Watched" Video Is Absolutely Fantastic"The only way we get change is when enough people in this country say, 'I'm mad as hell and I'm fed up and I'm not going to do this anymore,'" Warren said. "'You are not going to represent me in Washington, DC, if you are not willing to pass a meaningful infrastructure bill. If you are not willing to refinance student loan interest rates and stop dragging in billions of dollars in profits off the backs of kids who otherwise can't afford to go to college. If you don't say you're going to fund the NIH and the NISF, because that is our future.' We have to make these issues salient and not just wonky."
The video can be viewed by clicking the link. It is now officially, according to MJ, her most watched video.
Note how she is promoting Bernie Sanders policies?
According to a member of the DNC, Bernie Sanders is 'crazy'.
According to two of the founders of the Third Way, Elizabeth Warren needs to 'tone down' her rhetoric.
But according to polls across the political spectrum, both Warren and Sanders speak for a majority of the American people.
This woman speaks for me.
Bernie Sanders speaks for me.
You must watch the video. She is genuinely angry and as Bernie said, 'The American People are Angry'!
Yes they are!

And don't say tax the rich, because we are already planning to have them pay on the big increase in the social security cap, healthcare, free college, student loan relief, guaranteed income, etc. All things I support, but realize almost everyone else is going to have to cough up some money too.
Are you ready, and do you think Sen Warren is ready to tell the truth on what it will require?
If only the federal government could create money by keystrokes and did so EVERYDAY in the course of business. It's too bad that we have no control over our own currency, all our debt is valued in renimbi, and it's still on Breton Woods. Oh, the humanity!

How come other countries can do this?
Eg, a pro-rata tax increase could help pay for what Warren wants.
European countries pay far higher taxes than we do.
However, they get Free Education and Healthcare.
So in the end, Americans actually pay MORE when you consider medical bills and education than countries where taxes are higher.

(62,325 posts)a clue how much of our budget goes to the military. If they depend on the MSM, then they are ignorant which can be fixed by providing them with the facts.
I think many Americans would be stunned to see how much money goes to the military with very little accounting of what it is being spent on, what benefits the American people are getting from this obscene amount of money they are spending.
As for jobs, any jobs cut by that spending, both Warren and Sanders have provided a way to provide even more jobs and for a long time, that doesn't involve the necessity of forever war.
