Short Link to this Quote:
In this quote, Elizabeth Warren is criticizing large Wall Street banks that received government bailouts during the financial crisis but now complain that regulations on their industry are too strict.
She argues that it is unfair and hypocritical for these banks to accept taxpayer money to rescue them but then lobby against rules meant to prevent future crises, especially since they have returned to making huge profits.
Warren’s message is that the banks should be grateful for the bailouts and not push back so strongly against laws intended to reform their practices and protect taxpayers and the economy.
