Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) laid out an ambitious legislative and regulatory blueprint for further curbs on the financial sector Wednesday.

Accusing Republicans of engaging in “pure crony capitalism” by trying to relax rules on Wall Street, Warren instead is pushing hard to go further than the Dodd-Frank financial reform law, laying out several legislative steps Congress should take.

“Dodd-Frank made some real progress,” she said in remarks delivered in Washington. “But there is more work to be done.”

“Our economy suffers when those who can hire armies of lobbyists and make huge political contributions can decide what the financial cops can and cannot do. Our democracy suffers when Congress puts the interests of a handful of giant banks ahead of the needs of 320 million American citizens,” she said. “If the big banks keep calling the shots, they will own both our economy and our democracy.”

1. What a coincidence!

They are not done with us. They haven't got their hands on the Social Security trust fund yet.

But good on you for trying, Senator.
