The Consumer Financial Bureau’s Bias Shakedown

March 18 | Posted by mrossol | American Thought, Democrat Party, Losing Freedom, Obama, The Left

I wait for one of my friends on the Left to explain why they support this kind of “executive behavior”? [Which I’m sure they must support…] =========== How does the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau figure out when employers unintentionally discriminate against minorities?

The Left will never call Obama out on this… ======= President Obama and the European Union announced their sanctions response to Vladimir Putin’s rolling conquest of Crimea on Monday, and the most accurate assessment came from financial markets.

I think the key item Galston brings up is that in the past much Federal spending contributed to infrastructure improves – these provided a real multiplier impact. Spending on consumption.. not at all. ===== When he was governor of New York, Mario Cuomo famously remarked that “You campaign in poetry; you govern in prose.” To which he might well have added, “And...
