Elizabeth Warren and The Truth

Now it isn't very often that something awesome talks about a politician. The one of recent memory is Wendy Davis and her incredible filibuster. Another reason is really politicians aren't very often awesome. However this time we do!

 

This is Elizabeth Warren Democratic Senator from Massachusetts. She apart of the banking committee in the Senate. The Freshmen Senator has made some strides like no other. HuffPo reports in her first committee hearing back in May of this year that Senator Warren is quoted saying after not so productive responses to her questions of why any Big Banks have not been taken to trial that:

"There are district attorneys and United States attorneys out there every day squeezing ordinary citizens on sometimes very thin grounds and taking them to trial in order to make an example, as they put it. I'm really concerned that 'too big to fail' has become 'too big for trial."

Which is a great point, and a check that honestly should have been made awhile ago on the largest banks in the nation. Now let's bring you up to date, as our democracy was moving into the fourth day of a government shutdown Elizabeth Warren addressed the Senate, this is only a portion of the full eleven minute video clip.

Now I know she is speaking directly to the republican party, but that isn't why this is awesome. She is doing something that most politicians don't do, speaking factually about the true state of our nation. She isn't speaking for the Democrats or Republicans, she is speaking for the American people. Politicians have a pretty bad record for that. All I can say is Elizabeth Warren make my 2016.
