Elizabeth Warren Rips Citigroup For Weaseling Wall Street Giveaway Into Government Spending Bill

Ryan Grim The Huffington Post 12/12/14 08:55 PM ET

WASHINGTON - As promised, Elizabeth Warren has left blood and teeth on the floor.

During the final debate over the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, before Warren was a senator, she was asked about an attempt to defang the unborn agency. "My first choice is a strong consumer agency. My second choice is no agency at all and plenty of blood and teeth left on the floor, she said at the time, comments that were unsuccessfully used against her in her subsequent campaign.

This week, she fought to keep a major Wall Street giveaway out of a must-pass spending bill and by Friday night it was clear the fight was lost. So Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat, took the Senate floor and unleashed a haymaker on Wall Street giant Citigroup that will leave a mark for an awfully long time.

After listing the top Citi executives who have gone on to work in the Obama administration, she addressed Citi directly, noting that she agreed that Wall Street reform wasnt perfect. I agree with you. Dodd-Frank isnt perfect. It should have broken you into pieces, she said.

I don't think she needs to run for president to matter. She won't run. As she doesnt have the funding, but that's okay. She has a chance to change US politics, in a way not seen since the new deal. The democrats biggest problem for decades now, is that it has been way too accommodating to Wall street, and now we have someone in the party willing to call them on it. That's great in my view.

How about the decision to give wall street an early Christmas present, and put tax payers on the hook for future losses? Nothing to say about that?

I am still waiting for the conservative outrage machine to kick in, and tell us why it's bad that corporations are writing congressional bills. You know, like how bad it was for the ACA? Here it comes, any moment now!
