When Elizabeth Warren first introduced the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau, it was welcomed universally as a much needed protective institute for the American population. People had nowhere to go in the government bureaucracies in order to seek help from unscrupulous companies and scammers. The CFPB quickly became an effective instrument for the common citizen to use for combatting corporate wrongdoing. It lasted only as long as the Obama administration lasted.
Once Donald Trump took office and appointed the Asshole Mick Mulvaney to run the CFPB, it quickly became a bodyguard for crooked corporations to hide behind. Betsy DeVos loved the new CFPB and its “hands off crooks” philosophy.
My daughter recently received a bogus debt collection letter from a company she has never done business with. We sent the letter to the CFPB and asked for help. They promptly responded that this was not a complaint that they could handle. We were shocked. This once powerful well-meaning bureau was now nothing more than a bunch of Assholes whose goal in life is to protect corporations who rip off the American people on a daily basis.
One only has to listen to Mick Mulvaney for a few minutes to know that he is a natural and gifted Asshole. It just comes naturally for this dickhead from South Carolina. If you are keeping a list of Assholes, be sure and include Mick Mulvaney and the CFPB.
