Tom Sullivan has an eye-opener at Hullabaloo on two bills Elizabeth Warren introduced this week, which got pretty much lost in the brouhaha over Trump's cronies being convicted.
The first is the Accountable Capitalism Act:
The second is ever worse, from the viewpoint of our elected representatives and their owners:
She's thrown down the gauntlet, all right, not only for the Republicans and the money guys, but for Democrats as well. (Who, as tristero points out in another post at Hullbaloo, are gearing up once again to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.)
The first is the Accountable Capitalism Act:
Warren's first, the Accountable Capitalism Act, we discussed here on Saturday. It is nothing less than an attempt to save capitalism from its worst excesses.
A sign Warren's Accountable Capitalism Act has hit its mark are the squeals from the right. A hyperventilating Kevin Williamson claims in the National Review the Accountable Capitalism Act calls for “the wholesale expropriation of private enterprise in the United States, and nothing less.” Adding, "utterly bonkers." A blog headline at Reason blasts, "Elizabeth Warren Plans To Destroy Capitalism By Pretending To ‘Save’ It".
The second is ever worse, from the viewpoint of our elected representatives and their owners:
Warren's followup punch, a nearly 300-page Anti-Corruption and Public Integrity Act dropped on Tuesday and must have sent D.C. insiders rushing to cover their punch bowls. Except with #TrumpfellasTuesday news alerts booming like a trailer voiced by Don LaFontaine, Warren's roll-out may have been lost among the headlines announcing convictions of Trump's known associates. More the shame. This second bill is an attempt to save Washington from its worst excesses.
She's thrown down the gauntlet, all right, not only for the Republicans and the money guys, but for Democrats as well. (Who, as tristero points out in another post at Hullbaloo, are gearing up once again to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.)
