Obama establishing the CFPB was a pretty big win for Americans.
The intention was good and there were some pro co sumer victories and many already got rolled back.
Calling this thing victory is like calling ACA victory.
Dad gave a me a toy so it is ok that he gets drunk and gives me the belt bulk. No wonder peasants can't seem to see the picture lol
The ACA was a victory. Do we need better? Absolutley! However, I'm not sure if you remember healthcare before it. Remember "pre-existing conditions" or being charged for wellness checkup? Also, women paid significantly more for healthcare than men did. Balancing that back to equal was important.
If you're "all or nothing" you'll get nothing. We could have had real change on Climate Change too if "cap and trade" was adopted, but someone just like you said it didn't go far enough, and we got nothing instead.
Yeah, that's because binary thinking (everything's XOR) is not thinking at all.
