Which is why those bankster-loving Republicans are doing everything they can to neuter the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
Because as far as the Republicans are concerned, it is the job of government to make it easier for bankers and corporations to hose the consumers. The vry last thing they want is for anyone in the government to take the side of the consumers.
If you work for a living, the last elected Republican officeholder who gave a damn about you left office at noon on March 4, 1909. That's just the way it is.

Actually, this is one time I agree with the Republicans: the CFPB is a monster that needs to be neutered, not because it's protecting consumers (which is questionable), but because it's exempt from almost all of the checks and balances imposed on other government departments. I wrote about it on my blog some time ago:

I want this either neutered, or shut down - and that's irrespective of whichever party does it. I regard the CFPB as extremely dangerous.
I want to see how it works, in practice. If it works out to be a bad idea, fine, change it or close it.
But not now.
