    Consumer Protections Killed By Bank Lobbyists

    By Liberty1955  |  Posted September 24, 2009  |  Watertown, New York
     

    Banks win round one in fight for consumers' protection. Does this surprise anyone? Banks' lobbyists have effectively "killed" consumer protections for loans. Congress again takes money from bank  lobbyists and look the other way.

     

    Wow! Is this change you can believe in. With all due respect to President Obama, the bill has not reached him. But if this is the best those responsible for creating credit agreements consumers can believe in, we have a sorry state of affairs.

     

    It appears to be business as usual, until we have campaign finance reform. What do you think?
