The choice is Warren-ted

The House passed another bad spending bill tonight, full of giveaways to Wall Street and Corporate America and the usual fuck-all for the rest of us.  Unsurprisingly, the White House supported the bill (hell of a week for Jeckyll and Hyde Obama--torture bad, greed good); Elizabeth Warren argued vehemently against it.

All of which got me to thinking...that in all likelihood, President Hillary would have supported the bill, too--and is that really what I want from now until 2024?  Will the middle class last that long?

I've pretty much been a Hillary supporter of the, "oh well, at least our economic travails won't get any worse under her leadership"  but maybe it's time to look at who will make our economic travails better.

Move.On started an online campaign this week to draft Elizabeth Warren for the Democratic nomination in 2016:



In lieu of replacing one Wall Street-centric Democrat with another, it might be the most important online campaign of our time for those of us fighting the losing battle of trying to stay afloat economically.

Peace,
