Despite all the name calling, it is the GOP who is undermining the Consumer Protection Bureau by filibustering the appointment of a director. The cartoon is accurate, and the Republicans in this instance are enemies of consumers, and good friends of Wall Street corporations.
You do realize the $500 Million given to Solyndra to try and stimulate the economy with green jobs is 1/1400th of the $700 Billion given to Halliburton for putting out oil fires in Iraq, which never happened and was never paid back. Where’s that outrage?Also, Solyndra applied for and received it’s first loan in 2005, and the last loan approved before Obama took office, it was only expanded under the Bush stimulus after Obama took office, but it was Bush’s project.

If the GOP had their way, they’d be throwing out anvils!

Nevermind that the democrats cut funding to them under Clinton and then complained under Bush about how underfunded they were.

Correct, it would be the democrats throwing the anvils, all made in China.

Like always, it’s fawning over the rich while pulling the rug out from under the poor.
