Wells Fargo Is `Too Big to Manage,' U.S. Lawmaker Maxine Waters Tells CEO
The Street ^ | 3/12/19 | Bradley Keoun

The scandal-plagued U.S. bank Wells Fargo & Co. (WFC) is "too big to manage," a top U.S. lawmaker told CEO Tim Sloan at a hearing Tuesday in Washington.

Maxine Waters, a Democratic congresswoman who heads the U.S. House of Representatives' Financial Services Committee, said at the hearing that Wells Fargo is blighted by "ongoing lawlessness and failure to right the ship." Waters represents a district in southern California, where some of the San Francisco-based bank's alleged customer abuses first emerged.

It was the first time Sloan has appeared before the House panel since Democrats took control of the chamber following last November's elections. He has previously appeared before the Senate Banking Committee, where he was harangued by Sen. Elizabeth Warren, a Massachusetts Democrat who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president. Warren has repeatedly called for Sloan's dismissal.

Maxine knows absolutely nothing about managing anything. She should shut her trap.

This insane idiot would love to grab Wells Fargo and make it part of the government. Then the government would be managing it.

Though it might be impolitic to say so, the next nasty question that woman asks should be responded to with:

We pay our taxes on time, do you?

Tell AOC the last time I was in a Wells Fargo, the cages were very clean and the children inside them were well taken care of.

How about Government in the US, Maxy. Seems to us that this cesspool of a bloated, bureaucratic leviathan that we call Government has gotten “too big to manage”. Government couldn’t manage the construction of ham sandwich.

She just assumes everyone is as stupid as she is - and she knows full well she couldn’t manage a 2 person bakery - never mind a huge bank - luckily for all of us, there are a lot smarter people than Maxine.

The U.S. House of Representatives’ Financial Services Committee may be too big for Maxine Waters to handle, but a large company is not. Just look at what Dwight Eisenhauer did in ‘handling’ WWII. It’s just that Maxine is the one who has been promoted beyond her own level of incompetency.

Mad Maxine aside, it’s easy enough to manage Wells Fargo. Don’t bank there, period.

One branch wanted my finger prints to cash one of their little $20 checks. Another branch, who’s managers went to a woman’s funeral practically said to dig her up to put her signature on an account that had her name on it but they couldn’t find her signature card. That was after admitting they don’t use signature cards. They wanted my personal info and my house title to access an account. What??? I don’t play those games.

You're all missing the BIG PICTURE.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez asked Wells Fargo CEO Tim Sloan why his bank got involved with caging children during congressional testimony.

This is a CO-ORDINATED ATTACK by Democrats on Wells Fargo.

Democrats have targeted Wells Fargo for destruction because they gave money to immigration holding centers.

“Note they’re going after the ONE bank that still supports Gun dealers...”

Bingo, we have a winner. . .

I believe Maxine Waters is all mouth and no content or conscience. I would never follow her advice for anything!
