Is Elizabeth Warren right to go after corruption in the US banking sector?

I'm posting about a substantive political issue. 馃槑

Well, the article itself states Warren "sits on the Senate Banking Committee, has long been Wells Fargo's chief critic in Congress, [and has] repeatedly called for top officials at the lender to be removed."

Seems to me she's just doing the same job she's been busy doing all along. She's just the recipient of a lot more press these days.

Sad, isn't it, that this kind of work she does goes unnoticed but a DNA test suddenly commands the airwaves.

I need more info than just that article, tbh.

I like Liz and think she's often on the money, but this smells like a political move, especially after that DNA test and Trump's criticism of the Fed.

I get that she's the enemy of my enemy, but even when my friends are running for office, I'm skeptical.

@MistyCee Cynical you.

I just think the whole native American thing is silly and I care more about reforming the banks
@Burnley123 I agree with you about the Indian thing, but the idea of going "high" seems to be losing steam, and producing that test seems to me like almost the equivalent of "little Marco" dropping his pants.

Plus, I do have an issue with the government interfering with private business. It's complicated here, with the Fed, and I feel like I just want to know more than I do.

I believe her thinking is essentially flawed. The United States federal government does not have the right to dictate who can be hired by private corporations. If the CEO in question can be prosecuted for his actions while employed, then that is the way to go.

I think she鈥檚 right. Corporations (especially banks) have way too much power.

Just a distraction from her mockery of the American Indians that she tried to amplify her presidential bid upon.

@gregloa Exactly. Why would cultural appropriation matter more than corruption in high capitalism?
