And the white house once again shows that it has no concept of reasonable spending of tax payer dollars?

Warren vows end to "tricks" with consumer agency?

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/us_financial_regulation...

Why doesn't that article say anything about the 6 figure income that she will be paid to do absolutely nothing?

Update:

This woman will not be providing any benefit to consumers that they do not already get from existing government agencies. This woman is a personal friend of Obama who came up with the idea of another name for the FTC.

This is as irresponsible as the Asian Carp Czar.

Update 2:

Go duck yourself...do you try this regularly..so are you saying that everyone living in the northeast is making a six figure income. try again when you have a clue

Update 3:

Alan try again...Obama has asked for and approved how much spending for fighting in Afghanistan. And he has put how much of a tax burden on future generations to pay for Obamacare?

    It is very hard to understand the concept of reasonable spending when it is not your money you are spending. It is even harder to understand reasonable taxation when you have never paid the taxes you are imposing on the people who actually work in this country. Only the rich run for national political offices and continue to get elected. They didn't make the money they used to get elected the first time, and they have always had "financial advisers" to pay their bills.

    What's wrong with a six figure income? The North East has a very high cost of living. Do you expect her to live in a studio apartment?

    And your idea of REASONABLE spending is invading Iraq and Afghanistan and throwing trillions of dollars into both those wars? Spending trillions of dollars on Nuclear weapons when there are already more than would be needed to kill every man woman and child on earth 8 times over? Is that what you mean by reasonable spending?

    Consumers need protection from the rapacious greed of capitalists. They'd slit all of our throats tonight in our sleep, if they could turn a nice short-term profit on it...
