Senate Republicans voted on Tuesday to strike down a sweeping new rule that would have allowed millions of Americans to band together in class-action lawsuits against financial institutions

The overturning of the rule, with Vice President Mike Pence breaking a 50-to-50 tie, will further loosen regulation of Wall Street as the Trump administration and Republicans move to roll back Obama-era policies enacted in the wake of the 2008 economic crisis. By defeating the rule, Republicans are dismantling a major effort of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the watchdog created by Congress in the aftermath of the mortgage mess.

I would rather sue you. I think you should be held financially responsible for driving away membership fees from this site with your insanity posts on this board.

If you're paying membership fees for this forum, maybe you're the one insane.
 
While I am no fan of class action lawsuits, which basically enrich lawyers at the expense of those who were actually wronged, given some of the nasty shit big banks had been doing to customers (Wells Fargo especially comes to mind as just downright crooked) I say sue the shit out them. It's pretty obvious who the GOP is looking out for here, and it's not consumers (aka as citizens).
