Just another example where Conservatives are showing that they don't give one fuck about the Average American. Big money or GTFO is their motto.

CFPB is a policing body. I guess they don't count as part of the "Back the Blue". Look who's defunding the police now...
We all know the only difference here...
police prey on minorities and the poor.
cfpb helps protects them against corporations that do that.
And all those "Temporarily Embarrassed Millionaires" will continue to vote for them.
i'm working on my second million here.......

Developments within my lifetime seem to suggest any US consumer watchdog groups were long ago defanged.
Correct. By conservatives. As long as conservatives exist, we just can't have nice things.
Social contract is unraveling.
It is always doing that.
And as union membership rises the sense of American community will redevelop. And it will bring about yet another age of churches and secular community groups.
Fear not. Re-writing the social contract is required long before Americans will adopt amendments to their national document.
But it will happen. These legs of ours have miles in them, yet.
Your hope is a refreshing addition to all of these doom-and-gloom comments. 👍🏻
Payday loan scum are the worst.
Remember when Elizabeth Warren was set to run Consumer Protection under Obama? Republican Senators bitched and moaned and wouldn't let her get nominated. So she ran for office and ended up becoming one of them. She got the ultimate revenge. Duckworth did the same thing.
