    These 5 Trump Cabinet Members Have Made False Statements to Congress
    As most of the world knows by now, Attorney General Jeff Sessions did not tell the truth when he was asked during his confirmation hearings about contacts with Russian officials.


    But Sessions isn’t the only one. At least four other cabinet members made statements during their nomination hearings that are contradicted by actual facts: EPA Chief Scott Pruitt, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, and Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price.


    The statements were all made under oath, except those of DeVos. It is a crime to “knowingly” lie in testimony to Congress, but it’s rarely prosecuted.

    If you are going to make trump responsible for the positive, why isn't he responsible for the negative?

    Trump Celebrates Earth Day By Praising Rollback Of Environmental Protections

    With climate change skeptic Scott Pruitt as the president’s appointed leader of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Trump administration has taken a hatchet to progressive, Obama-era environmental regulations.


    Pruitt outlined plans earlier this month to gut landmark fuel standards for vehicles that were designed to reduce carbon emissions, the nation’s top source of greenhouse gas pollution. The Trump administration in January proposed a plan to massively expand offshore drilling and opened up millions of acres of previously protected public land to fossil fuel developers.


    In June 2017, Trump delivered a major blow to the fight against global warming by announcing the United States will pull out of the Paris climate accord.

    How to drain the swamp and show you really care for consumers who are victimized by financial companies:


    Trump likely to end public access to a web portal that lets hundreds of thousands of consumers each year file complaints against financial companies.


    CFPB considering ending public access to bank complaints
    “I don’t see anything in here that says I have to run a Yelp for financial services sponsored by the federal government," Mulvaney says

    A new report from the Wall Street Journal says the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is likely to end the public’s access to a web portal used by consumers to file complaints against financial companies.

    It seems like someone could take advantage of this by starting a website to give bank customers a place to vent.

    It would be a good thing--taking that kind of consumer protection away from the feds and opening it to someone or something that isn't cuffed by croney-capitalists.

    the CFPB has always been a way for the government to control and condemn the banks and people that use them. It was enacted under the dem rule. in fact Fauxahauntus was one that was a leader in forming this back when Obama took office

    YUP WHO needs Protection. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) is an agency of the United States government responsible for consumer protection in the financial sector. CFPB jurisdiction includes banks, credit unions, securities firms, payday lenders, mortgage-servicing operations, foreclosure relief services, debt collectors and other financial companies operating in the United States.

    Wells Fargo fined $1 billion for abusive consumer loans

    Wells Fargo (WFC) will pay $1 billion to settle federal charges into consumer abuses related to its auto lending and mortgage businesses, the U.S. government said Friday.The action comes less than two years after Wells was fined nearly $200 million for illegally opening millions of phony deposit and credit card accounts.
    Wells Fargo violated the law in how it charged fees over locking in mortgage interest rates beyond the standard guaranteed window, and by operating a mandatory insurance program that increased insurance costs and fees for some borrowers' auto loans, possibly contributing to thousands of cars being repossessed, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau said.

    YUP WE DO!

    CFPB HAS a complaint dept for consumer complaints.... BUT there have been many complaints to other branches of government ( DOJ - FBI ect ) for the crooked dealing by the CFPB in favor of the Labor Unions and bigger lending institutions. BUT if you look at who supports/endorses the CFPB you would see why.... the board is comprised of Labor Bosses.... Congresspeople ( Warren was Special Secretary to Obama @ the CFPB )
    and even tho it reports to the FED... they are 'supposed' to be an independent group that reports to the Federal Reserve.
