Lies, damn lies, and Mick Mulvaney

Why is the right wing so desperate to convince you that the CFPB is dangerous and evil?

The coordinated right-wing attack on the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) took a turn Thursday when acting agency head Mick Mulvaney and Sen. David Perdue (R-GA) went all improv-comedy showcase in a Banking Committee hearing.

Perdue used his turn questioning Mulvaney to chuck zany, alarmist attacks at the agency over its use of consumer data. Mulvaney, who wants the agency he now runs destroyed, was a willing partner in the resulting dance, the two collaborating to portray the group’s data work as alternately nefarious and bungling.

Perdue had just returned from a trip to China, he said, and come away even more afraid of the CFPB than he already was.

“Over there they’re collecting data and consumers just assume that the federal government has access to their data. American citizens do not have that assumption,” he said. “Every single factor that I have as a citizen of the United States, every single financial factor, can be reviewed and can be collected and can be exposed by the CFPB, is that correct?” Mulvaney agreed.

"This is, in a word, bullshit. Not in the just-fun-to-vulgarize-the-news way, but in the specific technical rhetorical way cataloged by Harry Frankfurt in On Bullshit. Bullshitting is different from lying, Frankfurt wrote. Where a lie requires someone to knowingly and intentionally conceal truth, bullshit doesn’t know or care about truth at all – it simply picks whatever information will persuade the audience."

Two fucking little fascist's.........................and there fucking Bullshitting.................FUCK YOU Mulvaney and Perdue....

November 2018 cannot get here fast enough
