Recent Press Releases by U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson
he is a moron
Why didn’t Ron Johnson issue a press release on March 27th or thereabouts when Republicans voted to overturn a CFPB rule that capped bank junk fees at $5? (Banks currently charge an average fee of $35 to extend overdraft services. The CFPB estimated the rule would save consumers $5 billion in fees per year).
Little things like this speak volumes as to what the Republican Party is all about. (But I also have a cynical opinion of the Democrats and wonder why this CFPB rule wasn’t put in place until December 2024 and not sooner).
Josh Hawley (R-Mo.), the lone Republican to vote against overturning the rule and stated “I do not want to give big banks the ability to charge people outrageous sums of money. Under this… they can charge whatever their expenses are on an overdraft, and if that’s more than $5 per overdraft, they’re allowed to charge that, but they’re not allowed to charge anything more.”
Too bad Johnson couldn’t be as principled as Hawley but instead is more like his POS Republican collegue Tim Scott who said “Overturning the Biden CFPB’s overdraft fee structure is good for consumers.”
Enough of the bullshit, Johnson. Do your job.
