Good news for MU.

Really, Brother Herm?

To be head of an agency that the President and his party want to put out of business.

To be head of an agency, whose existence and structure is of questionable constitutionality.

To be head of an agency caught in the middle of a cat fight between the Administration and the far end of the Democratic Party.

Ms. Kraninger must be a massocist. You couldn't pay me to take that job.

Such a waste.  Ah well...

[Jockey]

She has the most important qualification.

Lack of experience in consumer finance.

The selection is a joke.

It is a great career move . If I was her age and had that opportunity I would take it in a heart beat. She is ostensibly answerable to no one for five years and has an opportunity to turn a lemon into lemonade.

Congratulations to her. 


Now continue with the political attacks.

My Republican Party needs to start pushing people who are qualified for public service. We've been throwing lots of people in jobs who have no business being there (see, eg, Rick Perry as head an agency he once sought to eliminate). She doesn't seem like one of them. Hope I'm wrong.

That bureau has been turned into lemon over the past 2 years. She's a patsy at best.

Now continue with the political attacks.

Mine is less a political attack and more a question of facts.

The fact is that legal scholars have questioned the lack of accountability to Congress and the Administration of the CFPB.

The fact is the President ran on the platform of getting ride of it.

The fact is that if there is one agency that rouses the ire of both the GOP and Democrats, it's this one.

If I was being political, I'd ask the question of why we need an agency to do for billions and billions of dollars what a lawyer can do for a few hundred. Or, why CFPB has to exist when we teach people to read and count?

I'm surprised she was nominated for the role given her lack of experience with FoxNews
