Together, the administration, congressional Republicans and industry-backed lawsuits have undone a decade’s worth of CFPB rules on matters ranging from medical debt and student loans to credit card late fees, overdraft charges and mortgage lending.
The agency has also dropped or paused its probes and enforcement actions, and stopped supervising the consumer finance industries, leading to a string of resignations.
The CFPB and the White House did not respond to requests for comment.
When people call the latest branding of Republicanism/conservatism “right wing populism” -> LOL.
This is what “right wing populism” gets you. Massive handouts to the already impossibly wealthy and more unchained corporate bullshit, while everyone else gets a gigantic middle finger.
Yeah, it is a bit like how angler fish use “small fish populism” to get their dinner by dangling a lie in front of small fish until it is too late for them.
