Indeed, indeed! I spent a lot of time in Romania, so I should know. Even had some friends in Transylvania, but no blood sucking vampires.

Liz Warren really points out how schizo our political system is in this video. Perhaps the most obvious is the schizo disconnect between the presidential campaign trail and the White House. At least it was for Senator Barack Obama.

S. 3613: A bill to name a post office the "Major George Quamo Post Office Building." Bush signed the bill Oct. 6, 2006.

There you go. Of course much of the real business is done through amendments ...(Bernie Sanders is the most successful person in Congress on that score).

But Warren was the architect behind the CFPB, that was authorized by Dodd-Frank... a significant shield against predatory capitalism. You know, if you think that is important.... which HRC does not...

We get the money out of politics not only on the donors side but also on the side of where the money is needed and spent that makes large donations necessary. Also voting should be made mandatory as the cost of living in a democracy.
This is why so many of us find it hard to trust Clinton who is a multi millionaire, hangs with multimillionaires and is far removed from the concerns of the working poor or middle class. Go Bernie
