The Republicans actually believe they are correct in all their assertions, even when Wall Street finds their removal of government authority inappropriate and dangerous.
The Republicans don't know what they are doing. Their campaign slogans used to be 'walked back' after a campaign, but, not anymore.
This is just outrageous and where and when does it stop? At least we have the reassurance today that Minority Speaker Pelosi and Minority Leader Reid have protected the country from most of the strange and poor practices of the US House and Republican majority in the Senate. But, what about next year? What happens then?
The country is not in a good place nor on a good path if the Republicans continue to practice their form of treason. This "Small Government Ideology" is gross malpractice of government, irresponsible to Americans and unworkable. Anarchy is not the answer to Republicans that do not understand or care for governance.
The NAR had to save the country from the incompetence of the Republican Party.

This is a letter from Rep. Sean Duffy of Wisconsin. He took whatever allegations were being made by the CFPB of a financial organization discriminating against consumers and simply sought to intimidate Richard Cordray, the Chairman of the CFPB.
June 25, 2015
Today’s hearing marks (click here) the fifth in this Committee’s investigation into allegations of discrimination and retaliation at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). Next month will be the five-year anniversary of the Dodd-Frank Act, which created the CFPB and mandated its core mission: to protect consumers of financial products and services from discrimination. The agency was the brainchild of Elizabeth Warren, who not only led it during its start-up year, but she hired all of its senior managers, including its current Director, Richard Cordray. Democrats have championed the agency. And yet, since its doors opened in July 2011, this Committee has spent two years and more than five Congressional hearings giving a voice to the victims of abusive, unfair and unlawful discriminatory behavior of CFPB managers. We are here again today because their messages have clearly not been heard. There is mounting evidence that not only does the agency still have a huge problem with managers discriminating against employees based on race, age, gender, and sexual orientation, but CFPB leadership refuses to take meaningful action to prevent this behavior and protect its employees....
Every federal employee or vendor has recourse against the government.
If you decide (click here) to file a discrimination complaint, you must do so within 15 days from the day you received notice from your EEO Counselor about how to file a complaint. This notice is sent to you after your final interview with the EEO Counselor. You must file your complaint at the same EEO Office where you received counseling. The 15-day deadline for filing a complaint is calculated in calendar days starting the day after you receive the notice. If the 15th calendar day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or federal holiday, then the last day of the deadline is the next business day. The agency is required to give you a reasonable amount of time during work hours to prepare the complaint. If you feel that you have not been given a reasonable amount of time, contact the agency’s EEO Director or EEOC’s Office of Federal Operations...
These actions by this House Committee that have gone on for years since achieving a majority are major ethics violations. The intimidation aimed at a valuable federal employee, Richard Cordray, should be investigated by the FBI along with issuance of a cease and desist order from a judge. I am surprised Chairman Cordray hasn't filed his own lawsuit against the government for the harassment he is under.
The hideous webpage at the Hensarling website is proof there is unrelenting harassment of Chairman Cordray.
The government is basically paralyzed by the complete incompetence of the Republicans. This cannot go on forever.
