In a jaw-dropping argument, the Department of Justice claims seizing $50,000 from a small business doesn’t violate property rights because money isn’t property.

    These changes were implemented around the “Global Financial Crisis”

    Don’t fret!

    They’re going to undo all those, and make it even worse.

    Undo the orderly liquidation authority from The FDIC, so Wall Street investment banks that go tits up can manage their own bankruptcies, fuck the investors.

    Eliminate the OFR that Dodd Frank created to keep tabs on said investment banks.

    Defund the FDIC.

    Defund the NCUA (FDIC equivalent for credit unions).

    Eliminate the CFPB.
