Urgent: defend the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau
jeudi 9 novembre 2023 à 14:33US citizens: phone your congresscritter and your two senators and tell them to reject SCROTUS's latest plans to ruin the CFPB:
- The CFPB Restructuring Rider, which would strip authority at the agency from its independent director and hand it over to a five-member commission, two of whom “must have private sector experience in the provision of consumer financial products and services.” (In other words … your henhouse security team must have at least 40% foxes.)
- The Small Business Lending Rider would prevent the CFPB from even collecting data on lending to women and minority-owned businesses to ensure fair lending practices. (Because if there’s no data on the problem, they can pretend it doesn’t exist.)
