Elizabeth Warren is such a hypocrite. She believes the activities of the most powerful money-related institution in the country (and likely the world) should be hidden from public scrutiny, but goes after banks for helping out citizens?

Some populist she is!

Back to the gold standard, dammit!

Competing currencies would be a better solution but it's hard to find a worse monetary policy than the one we currently employ.
