She questioned some Repub for I think a cabinet post. He was a grey haired handsome rich guy. She has a round face, short dark hair. Quiet spoken with a punch.
She had questions like, if a single mother has a flat tire on the way to pick up a prescription for her sick child, how should she fix that?
I really want to shine more light on her and I cant even remember her name or position. Nor his for that matter.
But DU knows. Thanks in advance.

(15,078 posts)Here is a video of her questioning Jamie Dimon about the cost of living for a single mother. She told a story of a (fictional) single mom who got a job at one of his banks. Then she enumerated how much she would earn and the cost of living in the area. And how, at the end of the month, she would be $750 in the red. She asked Dimon for suggestions about how to fix the problem. And never once did he suggest that the bank might raise her hourly wage from $16.50 per hour. He makes around $30 million a year.

(15,078 posts)She has been on with Lawrence a few times and she's just wicked smart. Doesn't take any BS from anybody either. Especially those "takers" like Dimon.

(52,155 posts)40/200 = .20 * 26 = 520% The fact a person who is in charge of an agency can't do simple math is appalling. If she were as illiterate as she is innumerate she would be a laughing stock not a department head.
