Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Sunday that Democrats will be in “real trouble” in this year’s midterm elections unless they take tangible steps to tackle soaring costs and make the economy work for regular Americans.
The Massachusetts Democrat said she understands why President Biden is touring the country to trumpet accomplishments but added that Americans will expect lawmakers to make big changes as inflation hits a 40-year high.
“If we do it over the next 200 days we’re going to be in fine shape,” Mrs. Warren told CNN’s “State of the Union.” “I think we’re going to be in real trouble if we don’t get up and deliver.”
She outlined a few moves Democrats should make. She said they should tackle price-gouging, arguing that big corporations are taking a “big dollop of extra profits” amid the fog of supply-chain problems following the pandemic.
She said Congress should pivot power from corporate interests to constituents by prohibiting lawmakers from trading stocks. She also said the government should cancel student loan debt, saying it would benefit “tens of millions” of American families.
Canceling debt is a popular idea on the progressive left, but centrists and others worry it would send the wrong message to people who paid off loans while failing to address the underlying problem of soaring college costs.

When Warren says this she means give away more money. Of course the printing and giving away of money to Dem cronies is a large part for the inflation we are experiencing.
You think?!
She wants to address “costs”? What does that mean, coming from a socialist? Price caps? Anti-gouging laws? Government takeover of businesses? Rationing? Whatever it is, it isn’t going to be good.
What a dumb broad.
Gotta give away more free stuff, faster.
Price controls of course. Or free stuff for everyone except racist whites.
She was the president of Harvard so you would think by extension she would be smart but she’s a blithering imbecile.
Her answer is to have jack-booted government thugs dictating what prices to charge because her idiotic policies caused the problem. We’re becoming Venezuela 2.0.
That which the giverment givith, the giverment can taketh away.
Freemen and Freewoman do not elect representatives that willy-nilly give them things, especially 'money'.
Freemen and Freewoman do not pay direct income taxes.
“address costs”
In practice, this will mean “assign blame”. The problem won’t be solved, and will even worsen. But an explanation will be formulated for why it’s someone else’s fault.
Dems need to get rid of lying Pocahontas. She defrauded public institutions of large sums of money by claiming to be Native American before running for office.
Ya dumb ass... Just like the costs for all the Trump impeachment hearings!!
If Ma Squaw will get out off the Oil Warpath it will soar.
To think she is a Harvard professor explains everything.
When she talks about taking action, she means the Democrats have to make a feeble, meaningless gesture, then the media needs to gin up a massive propaganda campaign to ‘oo and ahh’ about how great it’s working. It’s not even smoke and mirrors; it’s just pure lies and transparent manipulation.
“prohibiting lawmakers from trading stocks”
A shot at pecker puss Pelosi.
Little White Dove Warren got rich flipping houses during the sub prime mortgage bubble. Obama calls such a person a “speculator”. Recall that he screwed the GM bond holders after the bail out calling them speculators when they complained.
ROTFLMAO!!!
Chief Gray Beaver upset that wampum become worthless after stealing many pelts from hard-working braves.
1) Too much money chasing 2) too few goods and services.
The anti-business/anti-investment ideas Warren is proposing would make the second part of that equation much worse.
It’s interesting to see how the top tier of Democrats is peopled (if they are really people) with the cream of incompetence, lying, self-love, and just plain loathsomeness.
Not that the Repulsicans are much better, but they are not quite as loathsome.
In any case, princes lies-a-lotus shows that quotas existed for low-IQ whits also, else, how could that loser ever even get into law school, let alone graduate?
So they want to destroy the economy by canceling college debt for Libtard Wokesters majoring in unmarketable leftist trivia and successful college educated professionals who laugh at the idea of paying off their college debt?
If they are going to finish the destruction of the economy with ideas like this why not hasten the process and just cancel all debt?
We could use a new pick-up truck and we know many good people who are having trouble paying off their home mortgages.
LET'S GO BRANDON!
