lol. Just think, this money will be going to you instead of only a few wealthy shareholders!
"Accumulated private capital is the engine of growth for the future"
Yes, that's why these people sit on piles of cash and always have way more money than they can spend, because they are pouring accumulated wealth into the economy.
And I'm not sure where he's getting a reduction of 50% in wealth, pretty sure that's not part of her plan.

Why would the barons just go and lie like that?
If two cents takes 50% of their wealth they must be worse off than we all thought.
This is GREAT.
These people are so far out of touch that they don't even realize how stupid they sound.
I feel like this is of relevance to Iowa and it's dumb caucus system.

Just to be clear then -- the plan for the NC Democratic legislators was to publicly oppose a draconian Republican budget bill, but then attend a 9/11 ceremony after being told no budget vote would be held, secretly knowing that the vote would actually be held while they were away so that the Republicans could pass the budget (that the Dems would now have to apparently support?) without them being present, and then act outraged about it all?
Interesting that it mentions Sanders and Harris voters go to Warren by a 2-1 margin.
When people realize their candidacies are going nowhere (especially Harris and Buttigieg), that could give Warren all the juice she needs.
Influx of corporate redomiciliation is sure to happen.
Investment bankers are going to eat well with the volume.
Crazy how with liberal tax and spend policy, while deficit reduction isn't a goal onto itself, it just ends up happening anyway.
It's almost like the starve the beast mentality pushed by Very Serious People in the media is fucking wrong and shouldn't be treated with any legitimacy.
You just need 15% in Iowa to be a viable group, so it doesn't go all the way to top 2.
We're firmly in Bitch Eating Crackers territory, with all the internet "Socialists" whining to themselves about how they would bang shoes on desks and say mean things, and that somehow would make things turn out differently.
Yeh, but I don't expect by the time we get to Iowa Harris will be anywhere near that. And Mayor Pete is kind of over as well.
Selzer has said she wants to know what's happening instead of digital caucuses, she has been polling with that as part of it until it was pulled.
I do kind of appreciate that Warren is commissioning independent economic analysis of some of her plans, even though you can make economic analysis say whatever you want lol.

I don't know why her campaign did not let her be this free. She is hilarious and honestly her troll game is amazing.
That question to Pelosi "regret not bringing the House back in August to keep the flame lit...", seriously is this a troll question? Bills had already been passed in the House. And yeah, let's see them ask McConnell (or Trump) this question, in this way.
I'm wondering what the rules would have been if all the Democrats in the House had just decided to bolt out of the room as soon as they figured out what was going on. There weren't enough Republicans to have quorum on their own.
If we lived in a better society Bill would have never been president, Hillary would have.
Anyone remember when Boehner got all huffy when he was asked when the House would be passing some bill that already passed the Senate, and he was like "we already passed that bill! when's the Senate going to do their job???"
The House did pass a version of that bill - the year before, in a different session.
There it is.
Pelosi will still be blamed for blocking the impeachment though, even after it passes. Then it'll be her fault for the Senate not voting to convict.
They only needed 40 votes to override. There were enough Repubs there to have a quorum, regardless, from what I read on News & Observer
I had the same question, but have been having trouble getting clarity on the point.
My assumption is that quorum is based on the members in attendance when the session is called to order. So even if you bolt out of the room after the session begins, you are still counted as 'present'.
I think this is incorrect. My understanding is that quorum is 61 members, and only 55 Repubs were in attendance.
damn im an internet "socialist" and I forgot to bang my shoe on the desk, must have missed the memo
My bad, you don't get the shoe-bang skill until you evolve into Internet Communi-Comfey
61 votes (bare majority) are needed for a quorum, and then you would need 60% of those present to override a veto.
There were 64 members present in total, meaning they actually just needed 39 votes to override - but that's less relevant, the only reason they did it this way is because if the full House had been in session they wouldn't have been close to the numbers they needed.
Guessing she realizes Bernie's bill (whether she thinks it's ideal or not) probably isn't going to pass the House and Senate, so it might be better for her politically to make vague references to it so she can claim whatever bill would pass under her is a victory rather than a compromise.
it's always wild when you see that someone who you thought just sucks a little bit made a Prager u video
At this point i think a public option is the only thing thats going to fly with voters but we will see how that perception alters over time
The amount of propaganda and scare tactics that will be put out by private health care industry and advocates will hit a fever pitch i imagine and I expect many moderates and conservatives to line up with that message
I feel like she just released something on healthcare so that there's... something on healthcare. lol.
Because she knows that a core part of her support will not accept a role for private insurance, but a large part of the Democratic base do not want to end private health insurance, while both of these support bases think "Medicare for All" means "whatever I want to happen to healthcare."
I also think Warren is intelligent enough to know that she wouldn't be able to dismantle and rebuild the US healthcare system in a single term.

I'm a big fan of "No Fucks Left To Give" Hillary.
Glad to see Warren still on the upswing. I'm really hoping she's the nominee.
