One question for all Trump supporters "Are you consumers?"

[Luckyone]

Well, you got your brown shirt types to destroy parts of their own areas and neighborhoods with national store chains which took decades to come there, now gone. Adn of course as consumers you are now talking about government supermarkets. I can only imagine the price of products in those stores or what the taxpayer will subsidize to keep the prices lower. You guys are death. If there is reason I get it. To many times it is just a stage play that gets dangerous. One of these days someone is going to destroy a huge area with a WMD from your crying wolf antics.

You are not answering the question.

This is not what Trump is allowing to happen

It seems to me that the people wanting to take my money are Democrats. It seems to me that the middle class got a rather significant tax increase because of Trump. Democrats want to take more and more from the middle and upper class, minus the ultra-rich who want their huge tax deductions(SALT) and the like. If you aren’t ultra-rich or perhaps the ultra-poor, the left is scamming you.

Trump favors the rich and it was the CFPB that controlled that. There are now no controls that make anyone accountable for what they do. You do not think the rich and powerful appreciate that?

It is my understanding that they were spending too much money. That is very likely given what we know about the federal government. Dismantle it and create a more efficient model if needed.

 

[Woodznutz]

You allow Trump to take the CFPB out and everyone that you need for your everyday living are going to be able to abuse you in any way they want and not be accountable for it. You don't think they will do it?

Actually, my insurance company negotiated the cost of my MRI down by $2000, so I do have some protection.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

You are totally evading reality. Trump doing this, means that the rich and powerful can now abuse you and not be accountable for it. You don't believe the rich will do that, especially if there are NO RESTRICTIONS on them?

I'll let you know when the rich abuse me. So far it's poverty pimps.

I am so happy for you but what does that mean? After all, Trump is attempting to dismantle the CFPB this week and has not yet done it. As such, right now the protections are still in place.

Your NEXT MRI may go up double.

 

[Correll]

You are not answering the post and it is something that you cannot ignore as YOU will be personally affected.

I did answer it. And I can ignore it, as I have not been personally affected adn likely will not be.

Then again, all you are actually interested is in hating the Dems and kissing Trump's ass.

My point was not hating dems, but the dems abusing government to advance their agenda and route money to their "allies" at the expense of normal people or republicans.

And it had NOTHING to do with Trump.

I do hope that you have enough money to feed the rich

The rich can take care of themselves. I want the government to be NOT an arm of the dem party.

 

[Luckyone]

You actually believe that Trump cares about YOUR protection and needs? That his dismantling is going to create a better agency that protects you better? or an agency that helps the rich put more money in their pockets?

Are you that naive?

 

[Crepitus]

"Do you want to feed the pocketbooks of the rich (at your own personal cost)"?

They don't care as long as it lets them hate the people they want to hate.

 

[Luckyone]

I'll let you know when the rich abuse me. So far it's poverty pimps.

You are already being abused and you do not see it.

If nothing else, if you have a 401k, it is down 30% in value. That is money out of your pocket (if you have a 401k) and into the pockets of the rich. Remember on thing, whatever is lost in one place, is won somewhere else.

 

[Crepitus]

It's alleged that Nancy Pelosi and her husband made millions from insider trading and so did other politicians on both sides. Where was the CFPB? How did Biden get to be a multi millionaire when he never had a real job?

You do realize that's not what they do, right? That's the SEC

 

[Crepitus]

I, and my insurance company, just got skinned by my doctors. Where was my protection?

Again, not what they do.

BTW, what we need to keep that sorta thing from happening is Universal Healthcare.

I spend $$$ almost daily on Gunbroker

Not only do poverty pimps constantly want taxes raised but they go around begging. When that doesn't work, they steal and threaten.

I grew up poor, homeless, without the generous welfare of today. The poor will never return generosity. It's a cue to ask for more.

It's the wealthy who build the hospitals, start businesses make civilization possible.

Trump tax cut, not increase.

The CFPB controlled what? Be specific.

There are now no controls that make anyone accountable for what they do.

The federal government spends trillions but without the CFPB spending $730 million last year, no one is accountable?

How high are you at the moment?
I know weed is now legal in many states, that doesn't mean you should smoke it all today.

[Independent thinker]

Are you a consumer? Do you want to be protected against people that would take advantage of you?

I have to assume that you do, given that you support Trump because he wants to get rid of corruption, fraud and abuse.

If that is the case, why is it that Trump wants to get rid of the CFPB?

Trump administration cutting nearly 90% of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau​

AI Overview

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is a U.S. government agency focused on protecting consumers in the financial sector. It does this by implementing and enforcing federal consumer financial laws, supervising financial institutions, and taking action against those who engage in unfair or deceptive practices. The CFPB also works to enhance financial education, research consumer experiences, and monitor financial markets for new risks.

Here's a more detailed look at what the CFPB does:

1. Rulemaking and Enforcement:

• The CFPB develops and enforces rules to ensure financial markets are fair, transparent, and competitive.
• It takes enforcement actions against financial institutions for violating consumer financial laws, such as those involving deceptive advertising or predatory lending.
• The CFPB can also take action against individuals or businesses that engage in unfair, deceptive, or abusive practices.

2. Supervision and Examination

• The CFPB supervises banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions to ensure compliance with consumer financial laws.
• It conducts examinations to assess compliance and identify potential risks to consumers.
  
  3. Consumer Protection and Education:
• The CFPB provides educational resources to help consumers understand their financial rights and make informed decisions.
• It accepts and investigates consumer complaints about financial products and services, says the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (.gov).
• The CFPB also works to make financial products and services more transparent and easier for consumers to understand.
  
  4. Monitoring Financial Markets:
• The CFPB monitors financial markets for new risks to consumers, such as the emergence of new financial products or services.
• It also uses technology tools to monitor how financial institutions use social media and algorithms to target consumers.
  
  Examples of CFPB Actions:
• The CFPB has issued rules limiting overdraft fees and medical debt on credit reports.
• It has sued financial institutions for allegedly failing to protect customers from fraud on payment apps like Zelle.
• The CFPB has also taken action against companies for misleading consumers about high-yield checking accounts.

Who benefits from such a closure?

I can certainly see why Trump and Musk want to get rid of it:

The question is "do you want your protections taken away from you"?

"Do you want to feed the pocketbooks of the rich (at your own personal cost)"?

Good question. I buy groceries and keep a budget in the Quicken program. A report shows that I have saved $1,000 this year on food and groceries so far compared to the same period last year and I have the very same circumstances I had last year. Thanks for asking.

Let me clear up your eyes to one very clear and evident thing. The "poverty pimps", the Democrats, and the left are NOT IN CONTROL of anything right now, meaning that they have no say in what is happening.

Right now, there are only 2 entities that can affect your life, with Trump being #1 and the Supreme Court being #2.

As such, these posts of yours reminds me of this

Degenerate Democrats are not in control which means they do not have the power to do to the public what they do every time they get a bit of power. The important thing is to make sure they never have any power, ever again. EVER. They need to be obliterated.
