Without proper monitoring, there are some guardians who take advantage of their special relationship.
Elizabeth Warren
The Public Record
Elizabeth Ann Warren is an American attorney, academic, and politician serving as the senior United States senator from Massachusetts since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, she has been a prominent advocate for consumer protection, economic equality, and corporate regulation. Warren gained national recognition for her work in establishing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and has focused on issues such as student debt relief and healthcare reform during her tenure in the Senate.
It's a consumer first agency. Before Mr. Mulvaney's arrival, the CFPB got 12 billion dollars in relief for 29 million Americans that had been harmed by shady practices.
The lesson from 2008 is simple--if we don't protect hardworking Americans from powerful Wall Street banks and financial scammers, it can bring down our entire economy.
I want to make it abundantly clear that the Bureau will continue to fight unlawful discrimination at every turn.
But now Mr. Mulvaney is trying to convince us that protecting families and prosecuting shady lenders is, 'pushing the envelope.' That's a lie.
Yesterday marked the 50th anniversary of the Fair Housing Act. Mr. Mulvaney observed this year's anniversary by moving to weaken the office of Fair Lending--the office that focuses on discriminatory lending.
