A winning formula?

President Warren...has a nice ring to it...

While I am as yet undecided as to my choice to carry the Democratic mantle in the Presidential election of 2020 (I'd like to see how the candidates perform over the next year or so as well as how events play out), I will say that Elizabeth Warren is forging a daring progressive economic agenda that the other candidates are going to have a hard time beating.  Warren is outlining a vision for child care, a wealth tax, more corporate accountability, and is actually addressing the root causes of income inequality--with real proposals and plans to accomplish each.  And who among us in the middle class, the working poor, and the poverty stricken couldn't use a little good news and a boost in our economic fortunes?

Time will tell, of course, but if nothing else Sen. Warren's economic agenda should be a measuring stick for all Democratic candidates:  Go bold or go home.

Fuck Donald Trump,

Please proceed

Seems the head of the Chamber of Commerce, Thomas Donohue, last week criticized Elizabeth Warren, saying her ideas did not strike a chord with mainstream America and that the best economic populism was the American free enterprise system.

Ha, ha...hee, hee, hee...guffaw, guffaw, guffaw.

Actually, I like this tack, because I really like our chances in a battle between Warren, who stands up for working class Americans (roughly 90% of us) and Donohue, who basically blows overpaid CEOs and Corporate America for a living.

We don't much care for Richie Rich telling us how great he is, and we like it even less when his butler does it.

Peace,
emaycee
