That good “liberal” Elizabeth Warren is out there trying to facilitate a new round of Fannie/Freddie bailouts and give them the Good Progressive Seal of Approval even as she rails before cheering crowds against tax breaks for billionaire and the greedy 1%. The fact that her actions do not match up with her words will be beside the point.
