DNC Chair Joins GOP Attack On Elizabeth Warren's Agency
Source: Huffington Post
"To date, the GOP blitz has resulted in a few close shaves for the young agency, but no actual defeats. But the industry has cultivated a powerful new ally in recent weeks: Democratic National Committee Chair Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.).
Wasserman Schultz is co-sponsoring a new bill that would gut the CFPB's forthcoming payday loan regulations. She's also attempting to gin up Democratic support for the legislation on Capitol Hill, according to a memo obtained by The Huffington Post.
The misleadingly titled Consumer Protection and Choice Act would delay the CFPB's payday lending rules by two years, and nullify its rules in any state with a payday lending law like the one adopted in Florida. The memo being passed around by Wasserman Schultz staffers describes the Florida state law as a "model" for consumer laws on payday loans, and says the CFPB should "adjust their payday lending rules to take into account actions Florida has already taken."
The problem here is that Florida's law is a sham," says Gynnie Robnett, director of the Campaign to Stop the Debt Trap at Americans for Financial Reform. "It was backed by the industry."
Wasserman Schultz's spokesman Sean Bartlett defended the bill in a statement provided to HuffPost.
"As a state lawmaker, she helped write Floridas law that has sharply reduced the need to go to bad actors, curbed predatory practices and created standards and protections for low-income borrowers," Bartlett said. The Congresswoman wants to work with the CFPB on the way forward, and believes the Florida law is an example of how to achieve their shared goals of balancing strong consumer protections with preserving access to credit in under-served communities."

Please, If there is anyone interested in running against this DINO D.W.S. Please Stand up I will donate, volunteer and knock on doors to see her gone. As Floridian, I am deeply disgusted every-time I see the DNC Chairperson. Seeing her advocating for predatory lending is just another reason to be sickened. <rant-off>

(2,672 posts)Obama knew that she pandered to the GOP in Florida by endorsing Republicans over Democrats, and he still appointed her to DNC chair and she was confirmed by DNC members.
The part that really pisses me off is that Obama knew who DWS was and still went ahead and picked her for DNC chair. Why? What did he have in it to pick her? He knew that DWS was a Hillary girl and that Hillary would run for president. WTF?
I think it's obvious. Obama wants Hillary to win the presidency to continue with his agenda. Wars and money for wall st.

(14,255 posts)The challenge highlights the difficulty facing Wasserman Schultz as she juggles her dual roles as Florida representative and head of the DNC duties that sometimes come into conflict.
Timothy Canova, a professor at the Shepard Broad College of Law in Florida's Nova Southeastern University, says Wasserman Schultz's positions on trade, criminal justice, consumer protection and drug policy reform among others are evidence that she's sold out to corporate interests at the expense of her constituents.
It marks the first primary challenge to Wasserman Schultz since her arrival on Capitol Hill in 2005.
I already sent him a little money. What will be tough for him is that Debbie controls the DNC which controls the Florida committee which controls the money.
And - he gets this so right, and it describes an ever-growing crowd of DINOs -

(2,510 posts)This is the most liberal county in all of Florida, Canova said in an interview, referring to Broward County, where most of Wasserman Schultzs district resides (a small portion is in northern Miami-Dade County). But she more closely associates with her significant support from corporate donors, Canova argued. He listed several of Wasserman Schultzs votes, such as blocking the SEC and IRS from disclosing corporate political spending (which was part of last months omnibus spending bill), opposing a medical marijuana ballot measure that got 58 percent of the vote in Florida, preventing the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from regulating discrimination in auto lending and opposing their rules cracking down on payday lending, and supporting fast track authority for trade deals like the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

(31,849 posts)the anti-DWS ... as she, having served more than 20 years, has demonstrated she has a constituency, petitions not withstanding.
She was refused to support local dem candidates(albeit he was a scumbag former Hialeah Mayor) and was not very supportive of Annette Tadeo {those running against (R) Ross-Leitnen and Diaz Balart. } She is in the pocket of Payday Loans (IMHO).
1StrongBlackMan
(31,849 posts)Like I said ... I hope he is about more than being the Anti-DWS, as a majority of her district voted for her, despite her refusing to support a scumbag Democratic former Mayor and not being supportive of Tadeo and her being in the pocket of the Payday Lenders.

<This jockeying proves yet again how much antipathy both sides have for Warren. And make no mistake about it: the Administration has been clear from the outset that it wants Anybody But Warren in the job.
Team Obama engaged her as an advisor to pretend to the few deluded pro-Obama progressives left in the US that they were serious about reform while getting a mighty inconvenient and popular figure mothballed. But she has embarrassed the Administration by obtusely ignoring its game plan and continuing to look perfectly willing and able to head the agency (notice how the criticisms that she had never run a business and therefore was incapable of building an organization have vanished?). It looked even more foolish when it floated names of possible permanent heads, only to have them say either that they had no interest in the job or that Warren should get it.>
