Google the CFPB.
They paid a lot of money for it after all.
Hordes of industry executives will descend on the city to celebrate Hillary Clintons nomination for president and renew close associations that vexed the Democratic standard-bearer throughout her primary battle with Bernie Sanders.
Goldman Sachs, which paid Clinton millions for private speeches, will be well represented in Philadelphia with executives Jake Siewert, a former Bill Clinton press secretary, making the trip along with Steven Barg, Michael Paese, Joyce Brayboy and Jennifer Scully, who was a major fundraiser for Bill Clinton in New York in 1992.
Blackstone, one of the nations largest private equity firms, will hold an official reception in Philadelphia on Thursday featuring its president, Tony James, sometimes mentioned as a possible Treasury secretary in a Clinton administration.
Hedge fund managers and top Democratic donors including Avenue Capitals Marc Lasry and Boston Providents Orin Kramer will also be on the scene, as will Morgan Stanley executive and former top Clinton aide Tom Nides. Executives from Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and other large banks will also prowl the streets and barrooms of Philadelphia.
after tonight Warren and Sanders now out of the way (in the 1st night).Watch the convention will move more to the right.
I'd so love to see Warren run for President in 2020 or 2024.
I have yet to see Warren actually do anything beyond talk and have folks like you cream their pants over what she says.
You prefer these folks?

Or how about
She was the driving force behind the CFPB. And when Republicans stalled her nomination to lead it, she decided to run for Senate to get around that bit of obstructionism. And won. That's pretty badass.
Seriously, put all of this "oh she lied about how native she is" nonsense aside and look at her positions; there's a lot to like.
Wow, I thought Corey Booker hit a home run, but Michelle Obama is knocking it clean out of the park. :thumbsup:
The difference in tone and class (and substance) between these two party's conventions has never been more stark.
Yeah, the utterly retarded position of "free education for all" is a lot to like.
Free education for those who qualify for it is a brilliant position - it's the position many nations attempting to move forward are using. Why don't you look at the correlation between how well a nation is doing, and the level of education of its citizens.Yeah, the utterly retarded position of "free education for all" is a lot to like.
I know, it'd cost like a whole 10% of your annual defence budget to make sure every young person who qualifies for university can attend it. Utter crazy talk.

Do you get paid to make these posts?
Still waiting for someone to pinpoint when America stopped being great...
lol - do you even know what you're talking about?
Direct Loans increase by ~100-150bn a year with the loan maximums capped at a pretty low rate that is becoming a smaller % of total tuition paid.
1. If we increased it to *all* tuition paid, tuition costs would raise.
2. If the covered amount is ~30% of current costs (ballpark) then that would place it at 300-450bn/yr in cost.
You could at least try to come up with a less ridiculous figure if you're going to bullshit the lot of us.
Whoa! We've reached common ground. I agree, to an extent. We still need majors in many of the libarts areas; but perhaps there could be some sort of quota system whereby we don't wind up with everyone going for the easiest major, since it's free. That is, "sorry, we've used up our psychology degree grants. We've got a few grants left for electrical engineers, and your high school grades qualify you..." And, set realistic numbers - I.e., take into account that some of the students will fail out, etc.How do you qualify?
I am all for restructuring the US education system to qualify students, similar to most modern countries, so that we stop wasting money on idiotic LibArts degrees.
This just proves you have no fucking idea what you're talking about.
Damn, just watched Michelle Obama's speech. I suspect the female turnout for this election is going to be very strong.
