I imagine that I am not the only one that has been suffering from post election malaise, that soreness between the nether cheeks that comes when assaulted from the rear with a saguaro cactus, or when Democrats form a circular firing squad in an election year.  For such a malady, Dr. TomCat prescribes a dose of Liz!<\/font><\/p>\n

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) went straight after Republicans, blasting the GOP on deregulation and trickle down economics during a Center for American Progress event on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

"The Republicans have a pretty simple philosophy: they say if those at the top have more \u2014 more power for Wall Street players to do whatever they want and more money for tax cuts than somehow they can be counted on to build the economy for everyone else," Warren said. "Well, we tried it for 30 years and it didn\u2019t work. In fact the consequences were nearly catastrophic."<\/p>\n

Warren did allude to the 2014 elections where Republicans replaced Democrats not only in key Senate races but governors mansions and statehouses, but she stressed that didn’t mean Republican calls for deregulation should be taken seriously now. <\/p>\n

Warren also reused her regularly repeated line that the American economy is "rigged" in favor of the wealthy.<\/p>\n

"We tested the Republican ideas and they failed, they failed spectacularly. There\u2019s no denying that fact<\/strong>," Warren said. "We know the importance of accountability on Wall Street \u2014the benefits of having a better educated work force. The advantages that come from investments of high speed rail and medical research<\/strong>."\u2026 [emphasis added<\/em><\/font>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
