She is such a well-meaning knucklehead :nonono:


I think she was referring to how it stands now that it is run by a Trump flunkie.

She put the CFPB in place so it wouldn't be accountable to Congress. Now she is pissed that it isn't accountable to congress. Pocahontas is such a knucklehead.


It was made to go after huge corporations. The same corporations that have numerous senators in their pocket. Maybe it shouldn't be held accountable to Congress?

Never figured you to be one to stoop to Trump's level.

Duckingfan, don't make me report for you for racial slurs. Seriously, what is the matter with you all of a sudden?

Yea, I'm not getting dckings slant here. The CFPB actually helps individuals from getting preyed on by large corporations, banks, and sleazy businesses like, for example, payday loans. I know I've personally been saved because of the CFPB's regulations. One of the better regulatory arms of the government IMO.

My slant is - good intention. Really stupid implementation. She implements the legislation - and makes sure the CFPB is above congressional overview, then she carps on the outcome. Which is it - accountable or not accountable? Okay if it is your handpicked stooge but not okay if it is someone else's handpicked stooge?

:noway: You could make your point without resorting to slurs.

Google: elizabeth warren dna test - my point is she probably isn't even part Indian.

If she is then :oops:

I get you point, but how else do you create a regulatory agency that’s not partisan? In order for it to be effective, it has to operate independently from congress. Again, the problem isn’t the agency, it’s who’s running it.

I've read stupid articles and opinions about Elizabeth Warren's Native American ancestry and it's nothing but a right wing smear job that's actually irrelevant to her political career. Again using the term Pocahontas is a racial slur and literally stooping to Trumps level. You're better than that.

Oh wow look at that. Glen Greenwald pulls his head out of his ass to criticize Democrats. Nothing on Trump firing McCabe and attempting to destroy institutions. Nothing on Republican's cowardice and silence.....

Stop feeding me talking points and actually look at the work it has done since its inception and what its done since trump got a hold of it. That's SD20 lazy. You're better than that.

What does that have to do with Paul and Greenwald hoping Dems block those nominations?

Talking points? I didn't blast the CFPB - I said it was a good intention.

I blasted Warren for a stupid piece of legislation - she didn't think through the unintended consequences. She implemented legislation that put an agency into place with no accountability. And now she is bitching about. Its like when Carter/Reagan started the executive actions. It seems like a good idea until the next party takes control.

As for her being part Indian - I think she is lying and got her hand caught in the cookie jar. If proven wrong, I would certainly apologize.

No - just pissed at the lying by politicians these days. Has Trump said ANYTHING truthful? Seems like this is the new standard.

Kind of like this one:
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/17/health/nih-alcohol-study-liquor-industry.html

Keep cutting funding to the NIH - is the NIH just going to go away. Hell no. So, let's get the money from the industry to prove their product is good.

Where was I - oh yeah.

Or big banks. First you let the banks get out of banking only and add risky products. Then you give tax breaks to help merge banks. Then you add lots and lots of regulation so that you can't start a small bank. Now you have banks that are too big to fail... so what do you do - do you force the banks to break up? Wrong. You add more regulation. Do you wind down Freddy and Fanny? Of course not.

But if you scream and shout and say how terrible the big banks are - you are okay. Sigh.

Executive actions didn't begin with Carter and Reagan, and the numbers they issued were not drastically different from previous presidents.
