Yeah she wasn't even a politician then.

What I love about Liz Warren is she was an archetypal bootstraps Republican lawyer who dove into bankruptcy law with the common knowledge that everyone declaring bankruptcy was a spendthrift scofflaw abusing the system and once she got into the numbers and discovered that bankruptcies are invariably families whose tragedies cost more than their wages, she basically became a bleeding-heart liberal.

The credit card guy they interviewed is like in Witness Protection or some shit. Dude knows he's a walking pariah but clearly, he gets paid enough to put up with it.
