I am not being brain washed, government was my profession for 20 years!! I spent 20 years in government and 40 years in politics. I helped four governors be elected, and ran for the state house. I know the game well!! And I have an advanced degree (MPA) in government from the university of Washington. This is MY field, I am educated, not brain washed, and Trump is destroying the rule of law, and our very democracy!! You are the one who is very brain washed!! With your right wing clap trap bullshit. Trump just shut down the consumer protection agency for Christ's sake. He is dismantling the rule of law right in front of you, and you seem blind to it! Trump Official Orders Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to Stop Work Tump administration orders consumer protection agency to stop work, closes buildingThe Trump administration has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work, effectively shutting down an agency that was created to protect consumers after the 2008 financial crisis and subprime mortgage-lending scandal. Russell Vought, the newly installed director of the Office of Management and Budget, directed the CFPB, in a Saturday night email confirmed by the Associated Press, to stop work on proposed rules, to suspend the effective dates on any rules that were finalized but not yet effective, and to stop investigative work and not begin any new investigations. The agency has been a target of conservatives since President Barack Obama pushed to include it in the 2010 financial reform legislation that followed the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
