Republicans try to kill Consumer Financial Protection agency before it even starts
Considering they're likely gonna have both houses of Congress after next election I don't see this agency ever getting a chance to start.
Edit: I mean, it might start officially, but what will it really be able to do, especially if the Repubs don't allow it to even have someone to head it up?
Why are you such a blithering idiot?
The US government was left to us by the founders.
You spew hate on it constantly.
Why do you spew hate on the tool the founders left us to shape our lives and the world?

People can't make financial decision for themselves.
They need the all-knowing hand of the government to protect them.
The Government is my shepherd,
I shall not want;
He makes me lie down in green technology...
You're amusing...in a wholly irrelevant way.
What do you think happens when average ordinary Americans find themselves up against businesses which do not act in good faith?
Have you heard of how credit card companies get young kids and adults on credit with contracts that are pages long (that nobody reads, by the way) and interest rates that can jump up to well over 30% (or higher) just because of late payments?
Or how about the banks who haven't been following proper legal procedure when it comes to mortgage forclosures on 100s of thousands of homes?
They there's the whole pay day loan debacle that's going on nationwide.
That's just for startes.
What hope to you think that individuals stand when trying to deal with companies like this when they might not even be based in ther own state?
And that's not even taking into account the fly-by-night companies which close up shop when the heat is on, move to another location or state and start all over again with changed business names.
Consumers can make good financial decisions, but when it comes to dishonest or fraudulent companies and their owners, consumers don't really stand a chance. And as long as the chances of getting caught or prosecuted is slim, nothing will change.
OMG. we poor people need the Guberment to help us from our OWN BAD DECISIONS.
good grief. you Guberment lovers just don't get enough, do you.
what the right wants is the average citizen to have to go up against the entire team of every corporations lawyers every time they buy any item.
They want the corporations to be able to do ANYTHING they want to do.
How are you going to even eat when it is proven they will put poison in food to make more money?

And liberals want to be allowed to buy underwear, wear it, then return it 5 years later claiming they're not "satisfied" with it.
The GOP doesn't want to protect consumers they want to protect business and the wealthy.
The lack of regulations and regulators played a contributing and critical role in our current economic crisis and the wealthy bankers couldn't have walked away with nearly as much of our money as they did if we had regulations and regulators to police corrupt capitalists.
How does that fit into the Republican agenda?

No regulations on our commerse is what the rright calls for.
That is what you are calling for here in this issue.
You want no restrictions on the people who sell things and services.
No regulations and no taxes.
its what you fight for all the time.
It means corporations can do anything they want to a product or service.
Has any American ever died because a product was dangerous?
Do you know te REAL history of commerse in this country?
The GOP could care less about the average tax payer. As in the days of Hoover, they would be totally happy is the poor and most of the middle class disappear.

Giving a fuck about you is your job - not mine.
In what reality is it the governments job to look out for you???
There is always going to be a business out there that wants your business so what incentive is it to a business to fuck you over??
You just want to see government regulate your enemy, and thats business, because to you businesses represent the rich and you hate the rich... You want government to fuck em over really good because you're a child that cant stand to see someone making it in life while you have nothing..
You will probably say I'm wrong and you probably don't even realize you believe that but you do... You just haven't come to terms with those feelings yet...
