The Republican National Committee released a white paper today that included this comment on consumer protection:
Republicans believe that markets make for efficient economies. But we also acknowledge that in rare circumstances, as demonstrated by the 2008 economic crisis, some regulation is needed so that markets function appropriately. In that light, we support appropriate consumer protection laws. We are prepared to work with our colleagues across the aisle in a bipartisan way that does not seek to score political points at the expense of good law-making to insure that the nation’s consumer protection laws serve both consumers and industry. Our goal must be to enable consumers to have the information they need to make wise decisions about their purchases.
April Fool! But wouldn’t it be nice?
