Elizabeth Warren is the best VP choice. Joe Biden needs her policy ideas to beat the virus and fix the economy. And win the election! Her inside skills make all the good stuff possible -- Medicare for All, climate change action, and a wealth tax.

Biden is a party man, not a policy wonk. His abortion, Iraq, LGBT, and health care views followed the party leftward over time.
His big skill is schmoozing. That won't beat a pandemic and a recession.
Biden schmoozing the DC old boys to enact Warren's plans? That works. 2/9

Warren called to organize federal resources against the virus on January 29. Here on March 26, she tells us which agencies to fund for more medical workers and which policies create RNA extraction tests.
She had the right plans all the way. 3/9 https://www.warren.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/senator-warren-publishes-medium-post-calling-on-congress-to-increase-covid-19-testing-capacity

For whatever weird economy 2021 brings, we need big policy-design energy.
Many of Warren's plans just helped people financially -- cancelling student debt, raising Social Security. Lots of pandemic economic policy is that. She knows how to make the system make it happen. 4/9

Swing-state independents unsure about Biden were asked who they wanted for VP. 21% said Warren. Nobody else was over 5%. Swing voters want her plans. Joe can run on them.
Most polls of Dems have her #1, best for base turnout.
She wins both ways! 5/9 https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/warren-harris-top-poll-of-battleground-independents-for-biden-vp-301095937.html

Warren built the Consumer Financial Products Bureau, which returned $12 billion to consumers ripped off by Wall Street. That was before she ran for Senate.
She knows how to do things in the executive branch. Biden already consults her regularly.

Neither Biden nor Obama supported full Obamacare in the 2008 primary. They moved left after winning, and passed it.
Biden wants public option 2021. If that passes, and it's ~58 D Senators after 2022's lovely 12D-22R map, what next?
Medicare for All 2023 is Warren's plan. 7/9

Warren and Bernie Sanders supported the Green New Deal, and were climate activists' favorite candidates (after Inslee left).
We want the relevant executive-branch policy tools, from science funding to energy regulation, in Warren's hands.
Biden will need her for this. 8/9

Warren's signature plan: a 2% tax on wealth over $50M, 3% over $1B. Big IRS funding to hunt the hidden wealth of the super-rich. The constant force of a wealth tax wrestles inequality down.
Will Biden move left here? Let's see! She's moved him before. 9/9 https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/1/24/18196275/elizabeth-warren-wealth-tax
