Oh yes, because the billionaire led Idiocracy can’t tolerate an agency that looks out for consumers’ interests.

"The CFPB has returned about $12 billion to consumers by stepping in after banks and others behave in abusive or illegal fashion. Two words: Wells Fargo."

Why ? Your only credible link does not mention any corruption, it argues that the agency it self is simply unconstitutional.

unconstitutional =/= corrupt.

Trump supporters are college educated and well informed. And that's a fact.
there are like 30 flaws in your post and that article, but lets stick to the top 2.


1. primary =/= general election. primary voters always tend to be more affluent and politically savvy( more educated in general)

2. the 23 States that had exit polls all have higher than the national average education and income when averaged, meaning that even if those who voted for Trump were below their own states average, they could still be higher than the national average.

NRO (National Reconnaissance Organization) is the same way, no accountability, unlimited budget, and the people only learned of their existence a few years ago.

Another is the DEA, I would say all in all, they are up there among the most corrupt, look at everything they have been involved in recently, it has ALL greatly benefited foreign drug cartels, I have a sneaky feeling they may be the cartels secret 'lobbying' group, ensuring laws in the US favor their business.

It sounds like a Democrat money laundering operation.

RUMBLINGS: Elizabeth Warren Faces 'Political Destruction' Amid Rumors*CFPB Engaged In Multi-Billion Dollar 'Scheme'

Fat paychecks for CFPB officials, hundreds paid more than Fed Chairman, congressmen, Supreme Court justices
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has never been popular with Wall Street, so there is no surprise that Investor.com writes badly about it. The rest of your sources aren't worth the electrons to light your display.

The reality is that the CFPB reins in Wall Street firms that cheat and defraud consumers. They've gotten back billions to consumers.

You said that the bureau is corrupt and a money launderer. Why don't you go notify the FBI?

If you are for draining the swamp, this agency does just that. It's exactly why Republicans in power don't like it -- including Trump.

That's a fact, huh? People often know, just know -- things that they just don't know.

Donald Trump: "I love the poorly educated" — and they love him

Quote:
In the 2016 election, a wide gap in presidential preferences emerged between those with and without a college degree. College graduates backed Clinton by a 9-point margin (52%-43%), while those without a college degree backed Trump 52%-44%. This is by far the widest gap in support among college graduates and non-college graduates in exit polls dating back to 1980. For example, in 2012, there was hardly any difference between the two groups: College graduates backed Obama over Romney by 50%-48%, and those without a college degree also supported Obama 51%-47%.

Nor was it likely they would create something that would look after consumers interest.

Both Dodd and Frank were complicent in the mess that lead to the collapse in 2008 and then we asked them to "fix it". That does not work.

Dodd/Frank was little more than a sell out to the banks and I will not be surprised if we find more corruption here.
