How do you know she's not a bad person? Bad or not, her being in a position of power is dangerous to the country. Don't worry about her being corrupt, that will happen if it hasn't already. She's a Socialist. Socialists with power = corruption.
I have no idea, which is why I said, "I think," instead of "I'm sure," or "I know without a doubt." It's a guess.

Now, were I to continue to ponder, and should she continue to get re-elected, the likelihood she heads towards corruption is high, is my GUESS.

We should change elected officials at least as often as we change our mattresses. Probably sooner.

Pro tip - all politicians in office for a certain length of time become corrupt; party is 100% irrelevant. To pretend otherwise makes you look foolish & gullible.
It's the arrogance that bothers me. Coupled with displays of obvious ignorance.

I'd rather get a root canal during a brown-out without sedation than have to sit down with her and pretend to be interested in the soundbites she stumbles through.

She is pretty certain. What's most concerning to me is that her degree is in economics. Yikes.

She's a minority female, i.e., social progression. Hurray Diversity! You should stop judging her by logical standards created by OWGs. Logic creates privilege...thus it must go.

When your degree is in economics... and you think that not giving a company tax breaks means you have that money to spend...

...reminder that a degree from BU means you know absolutely nothing about the subject you got your degree in. :roll:

A 21st Century Temperance Lady thumping Das Kapital as her new testament.

Riding the Millennial helicopter parent orphans to a gig in Congress.

That's what I call pulling yourself up by the bootstraps, well played.

Moreover, Bernie Bro-ism could be just what we need to scare the market to correct to end the cycle.

QE value wasteland delenda est.

In the end the SCOTUS will shoot the Bros down, but something's gotta give, I ain't paying $2000 for Amazon.

Well, it's typical logic for uber-liberals.

D team: Let's increase X budget by 8%
R team: We'll agree to a 4% increase
D team to media: Republicans want to cut spending on X by 4%!

What you guys don't realize is that this *is* what they teach in many economics programs now. It's called political economics and it's just Marxism.

Look at the professors in her alma mater:

http://www.bu.edu/econ/faculty-staff/faculty-profiles/

All the people with fields like political economics, growth and development, and labor economics are teaching Marxism.
