Is it still law?

It's probably worse than law. CFPB is a new federal rulemaking agency put in place by Dodd-Frank. It was intentionally created to receive funding from the Fed so that it wouldn't have Congressional oversight. Message board sniping aside, it seriously has potential to go down a bad road and it was designed by Elizabeth Warren.

You do know the only theory the R's work with Trickle down and that **** has never worked. By the time that money passes through a few "conservative" hands, there's nothing left. The no tax and spend party is a joke. The last president to have a budget surplus was Clinton. Bush ran on the campaign promise of $100 to everyone that filed a tax return because they were being ripped off by the previous President. Have a war and ran up the debt, with no way whatsoever to pay for. the no bid contracts to Halliburton and Blackwater was egregious.

You may want to research the Clinton surplus. That was mafia accounting, not a surplus.

Reading isn't your strong suit. I see history can be added to that list.

Some of the problems that caused the recession predated Bush in office and were passed by both Democratic and Republican controlled House/Senate as well as being signed into law by both Bush 43 and Clinton.

Do some homework before you get put in the corner again.

Heh. I haven't been here long, but it's plainly evident you have anger issues or something. Jeesh.

Oh. So... banks and lenders did well under our last GOP President Bush huh? I have a vague recollection of some "Great Recession" and banks failing... I musta been drunk or something.

Pro tip: Bank lending that led to the great recession started with Clinton. It was that whole "gotta let minorities achieve the American dream of owning a home". You're welcome.

I'm not screeching anything and I don't need anybody's talking points. I work in that world and know the havoc Elizabeth Warren already caused there.

The CFPB's creation was authorized by the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, whose passage in 2010 was a legislative response to the financial crisis of 2007–08 and the subsequent Great Recession.[2] The CFPB's status as an independent agency has been challenged in court but was upheld by United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit sitting en banc.

And since it's passage WTF do you think the economy has done? It's only been since Trump's trade war and the GOP tax cut, the economy has stagnated (based on the DOW). 7 years of prosperity and you don't think that had anything to do with it?

You literally knew nothing about this until I brought it up and now you're going to conflate it with something else, roll it up and try to argue that it's responsible for economic growth. Awesome!

No thanks.

You are correct, I knew little about it. I did a quick google search to better engage you in conversation. So what measure do you want to use as hindering financial institutions? Stock market? Unemployment? Trade deficit? Interest rate? ROR on payday loans?

Fox News crushes MSNBC, CNN to win 71st straight quarter as ‘Hannity’ finishes atop cable news

Fox News Channel has been the most-watched cable news network for a whopping 71 straight quarters after dominating MSNBC and CNN during the third quarter of 2019.

Fox News averaged 2.4 million primetime viewers from 8-11 p.m. ET, while MSNBC averaged 1.5 million, and struggling CNN managed only a smidge over the one million mark.

FNC’s primetime trio finished as the three most-watched programs, as “Hannity” finished No. 1 on cable news, averaging 3.3 million nightly viewers. “Tucker Carlson Tonight” averaged 3.1 million to finish second and “The Ingraham Angle” averaged 2.6 million to finish third.

CNN’s most-watched show was “Cuomo Prime Time,” which finished No. 23 overall behind 14 different programs on Fox News and eight on MSNBC. “Cuomo Prime Time” was unable to crack the top 20 programs despite a ton of free publicity in August when nearly 10 million people watched a viral video of host Chris Cuomo famously threatening a man who referred to him as "Fredo."

Fox News also topped cable news among they key demographic of adults age 25-54, averaging 366,000 primetime viewers compared to 268,000 for CNN and 228,000 for MSNBC.

Fox News nearly topped both networks combined among total day viewers, averaging 1.4 million while MSNBC averaged 880,000 and CNN averaged 624,000. Among the key demo, Fox News averaged 230,000 viewers compared to 148,000 for CNN and 128,000 for MSNBC.

FNC had double-digit percent advantages over MSNBC and CNN in both categories and a triple-digit percent advantage over CNN in primetime total viewers. But Fox News didn’t only beat MSNBC and CNN, as it topped all of basic cable in both total day and primetime viewers, too.

It was the 13th consecutive quarter that FNC finished atop all of basic cable among total day viewers.

“Fox & Friends” celebrated its 21st anniversary during the third quarter by finishing as the most-watched cable news morning show for the 71st straight quarter with an average viewership of 1.5 million, while CNN’s “New Day” managed a dismal total of 461,000 daily viewers. “Outnumbered Overtime” with Harris Faulkner averaged 1.3 million viewers to beat its 1 p.m. ET competition not just on cable, but it even outdrew ABC News’ heavily promoted “GMA” 25 times during the quarter.
FNC also finished September as the most-watched network in all of cable for the 39th straight month.
