    Republicans to Consumer Financial Protection Bureau: Drop Dead

    In a new effort to guarantee the continued right of banks to loot and pillage, 44 Republican senators have written to Obama saying that they won’t approve of any head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ex what these Ministers of Truth choose to call a “restructuring” of the agency.

    The real issue, of course, is that an effective CFPB will commit crimes against banking (note that crimes against banking can get you put in jail in Switzerland and they don’t mean just robbing banks. Damaging the reputation of banks also qualifies). Financial firms have behaved so badly in the consumer arena that even a half-hearted effort at consumer protection will inevitably create bad press about banking practices. So it is absolutely necessary to hobble the agency.

    Butt-ons...

    How about some specifics of the pros and cons of whats in the language. I'll bet they disapprove for something other than the liberals wanting to make things better. I'll bet the liberals have some bad language in what they want.

    How about the details of this "restructuring" please. If you are not going to furnish us with these facts, then this should be a "dead on arrival" thread since we have no facts to debate.

    Again, my gut feeling tells me this "restructuring" is a code word for a liberal agenda, like "comprehensive immigration reform" is.

    It works both ways you know. Without comprehensive pros and cons, your hot air is just adding to global warming. I wish you liberals would stop creating this global warming crisis.

    Can you tell me this "restructuring" isn't "liberal agenda" free?
