Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, let's be clear about why we have the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. It is not some fancy agency. They just simply defend hardworking people. They are the consumers' watchdog. Think about it. We have $21 billion back in people's pockets who were cheated by big banks and corporations and $360 million recovered for veterans who were the victims of fraud. Starting this year, Americans will save $11 billion a year without bank overdraft fees. Republicans are letting the President and Elon Musk burn it down. For what? For the banks? For large corporations? For their billionaire buddies? They don't get to pander to working people while doing the banks' dirty work. We must protect the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. We must protect the consumer's watchdog. We must put people's pocketbooks over billionaires and their buddies. ____________________”
