The Huffington Post really seems concerned about congressional threats to the CFPB. From Simon Johnson’s’ latest column:
In Washington, before lobbyists try hard to destroy something, they first spread a great deal of disinformation about it. Thus the “End Users’ Coalition” (a front for the derivatives dealers) promotes its lobbying points as fake research. And “fiscal conservatives” attempt to distract from the fact that our largest banks brought us to the brink of budget disaster — this is their preparation for demolishing all vestiges of financial reform.
