Veterans are hit hardest by unscrupulous lenders. So you're saying its an idiotic decision to join our military?
You've then got the elderly, and the families of people hit with seriousness diseases, or death unexpectedly.

What stupid people they all are.

So you're trying to tell me with a straight face that there's no corruption in the money lending industry?

If there's one thing that's become clear since our government shutdowns & Trump taking office, is that we can do without a lot of the current bureaucracy and never miss a beat.

The dude has not held any of the legally mandated meetings, and has effectively tried to stop all the work the group does.

He has gone and stopped investigations into lenders that charge 900%+ interest rates because they gave him donations.
He has literally said that he will not speak to lobbyists who do not give him money.

Mulvaney is up there with Pruitt and Pai as in it solely for his bottom line, at the expense of all Americans. The R by his name stands for Repugnant, not Republican.
Unfortunately this forum has largely become a Trumpist echo chamber. Expect continued posts praising developments that go against the poster’s self interests as well as against the interests of the public at large.

There is, but none more corrupt than the activities that the Democrats had going on at the CFPB.

Well, I suppose I should thank you for posting this, since I was about to.

But, no, the real question is, how can there be such heartless people as you to approve the whittling away of an organization that has successfully won millions of dollars on behalf of desperate consumers who were being ripped off by banks?

We are a nation of consumers and have been for decades. We don't need anyone telling us how to do it from some bureaucrat. Dems created another worthless high paid bureaucracy to suck the taxes out of people.
Tell me one thing that bureaucracy did that effected your life. I've look over my situation and I haven't found anything that benefited me.
