Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) laid out three ideas Thursday that she predicted would actually help and that lawmakers could pass with simple legislation: allow people to refinance student loan debt so the federal government stops making a profit, raise the minimum wage, and protect workers who request schedule changes to care for family members. "When lobbyists want something, when a giant oil company wants the Keystone pipeline, or when Citibank wants to blast a hole in Dodd-Frank, the Republicans move faster than lightning," Warren said at a Capitol Hill news conference.
