Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) was asked about Congressional support for her proposed student loan bill in an interview on MSNBC Thursday evening.
Warren danced around the question and did not give a direct answer:
SEN. ELIZABETH WARREN: I started this as grassroots. I didn't ask. I started it by talking to lots of people. That's why I'm here today. I want lots of students, lots of people, the families of students, just people who think it's smart, a good idea. E-mail your senator, please, over it. We are going to gather a lot of people and see what we can get going here. This is grassroots legislation. It's legislation, keep in mind, the banks, they've got an army of lobbyists, they've got an army of lawyers. What this is about is our students. They don't have those same kind of lobbyists, we're going to build this one from grassroots up.
