A quarter-million-a-year seems reasonable compensation for a deputy director of an agency that no longer does anything.
Fucking grifters. Every last one of them.
Dems should adopt the platform of creating the American Citizen Protection Bureau (ACPB), specifically to protect the American citizenry from assholes like this.
Scotty Pruitt also knows absolutely nothing about this, tooâŚ
The spokesperson also said it is up to Congress to change the bureauâs structure and compensation practices.
This is great. "Donât blame us for the burglary! Congress left the backdoor unlocked! "
Well, see, unlike those incompetent, sorry, lazy, public employees who were here before, these people are friends of mine.
The bad thing about taking Congress back this fall would be that Trump (or Pence) is still president for two more years and would just veto everything Dems pass. The good thing would be, that gives them a lot more time to spend blowing the lid off this sewage tank of an Administration and making sure everything that crawls out of it either resigns or goes to jail.
In related news, Mulvaney and the equally corrupt Pruitt oppose raising the minimum wage and want to strip tens of millions of health care.
The Trump regime is composed entirely of sociopaths.
Like St Ronnie said in his first term when he underfunded the Customs Dept: âWeâre doing more with lessâ.
This is the Republican way.
This is $50-70K a year more than the governors of the effing federal reserve system, otherwise known as the seven people who make crucial decisions about running the entire economy and financial system. Just sayinâ.
Can we hear some Democrat outrage about this? Please?
If any one of them is in a sexual relationship with Mr Mulvaney, itâs not enough.
âThe spokesperson also said it is up to Congress to change the bureauâs structure and compensation practicesâŚâ
No duh!
Run for office- and run FOR something! Donât just run against Trump. Youâll either be preaching to the choir or confirming, in some peopleâs minds, that âthe elitesâ are out to get their man.
Get REAL specific, too. You want to run on jobs or healthcare reform or the new landfill? You must have a plan. Show whatâs needed and show how to make it work. THEN point out the differences between having a plan and vague promises to work on a plan âvery soonâ.
This site, https://www.runforoffice.org/, allows you to enter your ZIP code and see what offices are available to you and the filing window for that office. They also have a few video short-courses on running a campaign. In my state you file for office during a 1-week period in May.
Become a Precinct Committee Officer, sometimes itâs a Ward officer. Meet your neighbors and get out the vote. Find good citizens willing to run for office.
Run for School Board. Make sure Civics is being properly taught. Think a majority of America knows how government works? Just 26% of eligible voters in America voted for Trump, and half of all voters stayed home last November. HALF! Todayâs 12-year olds will be voting for President in 6 years. Make sure theyâre prepared.
Run for Mayor, City Council, County Commissioner, Borough Assembly. And get on your Planning Commission.
Run for State Legislature or Congress. The next census is in 2020 when weâll redraw Congressional Districts. Make them fair and open. Trump is ALREADY trying to rig the census- talk about âvoter fraudâ!
Register people to vote. If you need to help people overcome the GOP-led voter-run-around campaign help them do that. This site, https://www.aauw.org/resource/organize-a-voter-registration-drive/, has a how-to on organizing a voter registration drive. Or even sitting outside Wal Mart with a folding chair and a card table. Yes, thatâs the American Association of University Women. And while weâre here organize a League of Women Voters chapter in your community if you donât already have one. Fair, honest and above board. Democracy functions better with them involved.
Civics, civility and civilization all share the same roots. Get crackinâ!
If we take back the senate, that means no more rubber stamp approvals for cabinet positions and federal judgeships for the worst people in the world, plus some actual oversight.

[/quote]But, as a consumer, donât you feel much better protected knowing that there are highly paid professionals in place - and two brand new positions, too - making things easier for banks and financial institutions to make more money and put all the risk on you?
The headline had a typo. Corrected version follows.
Mulvaney Gave Big Pay Raises To Deputies He Hired To Help Ruin CFPB
Isnt it uncanny how both Pruitt and Mulvaney, who we all remember was a fucking huge Budget Hawk who railed against Tax & Spend when he was a congressman, have found such similar back door ways to steal from the American Public for their crony deputies. Letâs look in to Mulvaneyâs travel and housing expenses. Great minds think alike. .
