Graham says watchdog agency ‘something out of the Stalinist era’
“This consumer bureau that they want to pass is under the Federal Reserve; no appropriation oversight; no board. It is something out of the Stalinist era,” Graham said on NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “The reason Republicans don’t want to vote for it is we want a board, not one person making all of the regulatory decisions. And there’s no oversight of this person. He gets a check from the Federal Reserve; we want him under the Congress so we can oversee the overseer.”

Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt.

16th president of US (1809 - 1865)
Stalin killed somewhere between 2 and 10 million people in the Ukraine in the 1930s with his policies
and yet Graham talks about a pro consumer agency being Stalinist.

its a photograph of two russian boys, taken in 1922 by one Fridtjof Nansen, who died in 1930.

I remember reading about Stalin's acts against the Ukrainian people years ago and for
Graham to compare a consumer protection agency to what Stalin did shows a real lack
of knowledge and or tact.
I look forward to the media pointing out Graham's ham handed speech. 
to include "Stalinist", "Socialist", "Communist", etc.
All these are are buzzwords IMHO basically designed to destroy/prevent legitimate debate and the people using them often have no idea what the words actually mean other that they are something "bad", "awful" and/or most certainly "un-American".
