Yabba Dabba Doo! Trump Picks McKernan for Treasury Gig!

Great Gazoo! Another Appointment?

Yabba Dabba Doo! Fred Flinstone here reporting live from my stone tablet! Seems like that fella Donald Trump the big kahuna in Washington wants to give Jonathan McKernan a new job over at the Treasury Department. Now I ain't no financial whiz like Mr. Slate but even I know the Treasury is where they keep all the clams… I mean money! Apparently this McKernan guy might be the Undersecretary of Domestic Finance. Sounds important like knowing how much Wilma spends on those fancy animal print dresses!

CFPB? More Like CFP BOO!

Here's the thing that makes my dinosaur ribs rumble: Trump already picked McKernan to run that Consumer Financial Protection Bureau or CFPB. It's supposed to be a watchdog makin' sure those sneaky bankers don't pull a fast one on regular Joes like me. But the Senate ain't voted on it yet so it's kinda stuck in limbo like Dino tryin' to catch a butterfly! Some say Trump's been tryin' to weaken the CFPB since he took office. Sounds like someone's been listenin' to Mr. Slate too much!

Treasury: A Whole New Ball Game!

So instead of leading the CFPB McKernan has been hanging around the Treasury like Dino begs for a bronto burger. The Treasury folks say he's become "an integral part" of their team. Sounds like someone's been polishin' the ol' resume with extra shiny pebbles! They reckon he can help Trump with his "America First agenda.” I wonder if that means cheaper bronto burgers? Yabba Dabba Doo!

Rohit Chopra Gets the Boot!

Remember that Rohit Chopra fella who was runnin' the CFPB since 2021? Well Trump gave him the ol' heave ho in February. Now McKernan’s gettin' considered for a new position at Treasury like when I get a promotion at the quarry... wait that never happens! Anyway McKernan's got experience workin' for the FDIC the Federal Housing Finance Agency and even the Senate. He's been around the block more times than the Bedrock Buggy!

Senate's Still Mullin' It Over

The Senate hasn't said "yea" or "nay" on McKernan's CFPB gig but they did give him a thumbs up in committee after he yakked to them back in February. Sounds like Wilma when she sees a new pottery set. Blah blah blah! Still until they vote it's all just a big guessing game. Like tryin' to figure out what Dino's dreamin' about when he chases cats. Impossible!

What's Next for McKernan?

So what's next for McKernan? Will he end up at the Treasury countin' all those clams? Or will he finally get to lead the CFPB and protect us from those shifty bankers? Only time will tell! But one thing's for sure: This whole thing is more confusing than tryin' to explain the modern stone age family to the Great Gazoo! Yabba Dabba Doo!
