IDBillzFan Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 “Now five years old, CFPB was intended as a model for government when Obama joined with one of his top appointees, Elizabeth Warren, in designing and proposing the bureau in 2010. I'm starting to think Warren is every bit the fraud that Hillary and Barry are. I essentially saw her as a younger, female version of Bernie. I mean, I know she used her 'indian' thing to get special treatment at universities, etc., but I didn't think she was willing to go after info as to people's financial positions. Maybe I shouldn't be so surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 In its five year existence, CFPB has done little other than compile two huge intrusive databases containing billions of bytes of information about individual Americans financial position. Not true. They've also !@#$ed up the real estate industry beyond recognition. The CFPB is one of the most asinine government productions I've ever seen.

unbillievable Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 CFPB has been an abomination that has done far more harm than good to the average American. It's a classic case of lowering the standards to protect a fictional problem that leaves nearly everyone else worse off. Remember when banks used to offer overdraft protection to most of their customers? Say goodbye. Thank you, progressives. Overdraft protection is racist because only white people would have two accounts open in the same bank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 FEDERAL EMPLOYEE UNIONS DEMAND HUUUUGE PAY HIKE: They already make on average 78 percent more than private sector works – counting salary and the value of benefits – but a coalition of federal employee unions claim they deserve a 5.3 percent pay raise, reports Katie Watson of the Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group. “At a time when we need to recruit the best and brightest to civil service, federal pay is falling further behind the private sector and living standards for federal employees and their families continue to decline,” the coalition claims in a letter to Congress. “A catch-up raise to reflect market rates in 2017 is imperative.” Yes, that’s really what they said.

DC Tom Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 FEDERAL EMPLOYEE UNIONS DEMAND HUUUUGE PAY HIKE: They already make on average 78 percent more than private sector works Not for the same work, they don't. Right now I make about 10% more as a contractor than an equivalent federal worker, even including benefits. Used to be more - nearer 30%...but thanks, Obamacare.

Morocco will receive millions of dollars in funding from the United States government through programs aimed to address challenges that prevent girls in the country from quality education, a ccording to a Monday White House press release. The Millenium Challenge Corporation, an independent U.S. Government foreign-aid agency, is expected to give nearly $10 0 million dollars to invest in a new model for secondary education in Morocco, the announcement stated. The U.S. Agency for International Development will also invest $40,000 to build five girls’ dormitories, known as “Dar Talibas”, by the next school year. “I am so proud that the U.S. is working with the Moroccan Government to make…transformative new investments to educate and empower girls across Morocco,” stated United States First Lady Michelle Obama in the release.
