Could there be two Chris Youngs – one from Louisiana – toiling away for Elon Musk and IMPOTUS in an obscure position in the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)?
One such Chris Young, an LSU graduate from Monroe, has held a number of positions linked strongly to the Repugnantcan Party, the most recent of which appears to be several layers from any real authority in the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau – that is, if we’re talking about the same Christ Young.
Before that, he was either in high demand or just had trouble holding a job. His most recent gig before being hired by Elon Musk back in August before being shuttled off to CFPB was nearly five years as a lobbyist and vice president for PhRMA.
He was executive director for 15 months of Engage Texas, a Repugnantcan super PAC focused on voter registration. He also served as executive director of Nevada’s Future, a GOP PAC for that state for two years before moving to the Texas position.
Prior to that, he served nearly four years on the Repugnantcan National Committee as a state director and then as national field director and before all of that, he served as a shill for…wait for it…Bobby Jindal.
Now, though, he’s hit the big time. Or so it seems. But is it the same Chris Young?
MATT BERG WROTE on X that “Chris Young, a lobbyist for Big Pharma and past field organizer for former Gov. Bobby Jindal” has “appeared in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s (CFPB) internal staff directory.”
His quarter-century of experience in consumer financial services and banking law has landed him the lofty position of Deputy Assistant Director for Supervision Policy at CFPB, according to an internet post by the American College of Consumer Financial Services Lawyers (ACCFSL). Not director, mind you, and not even assistant director, but deputy assistant director.
Of course, Washington is awash in such titles but truth be known, he’s pretty far down in the pecking order, lodged in a position where he really shouldn’t be able to do much harm.
But wait. Young’s LINKEDIN PROFILE cites all his positions in working for the Repugnant Party, but it says nothing about any experience in consumer financial services. Moreover, his profile lists him simply as Chris Young while the ACCFSL identifies him as Chris J. Young and cites his banking experience rather than his political jobs.
Regardless, having his name linked to that of Elon Musk is certain to have its own consequences down the road when the giant egos of Musk and Don the Con clash – and that’s a certainty, my friends. Those two can never co-exist on an equal footing as they are trying to do at the moment.
When the fallout occurs, there are going to be casualties galore and don’t be surprised if at least one Chris Young is not sent packing back to Monroe, Louisiana.
It’s almost as confusing as trying to keep up with IMPOTUS’s on-again, off-again executive orders and trade wars.

Thank you for these very interesting titbits of local connections to the tearing apart of our society as we know it – for only a little while longer?

Another great Article! Ms. Rosemary, love that name, and wish I could answer your question, but our society will not fail, and our Democracy will improve. Local connections are now worldwide, instantly, and at 80 years, everything I learned at church, public schools, and the military is valid and yes, sustainable!
Good morning, just read that Trump has appointed Paula White-Cain as head of his Office of Faith. She will be assigned the same desk as Monica Lewisky. She was a “great’ at promoting the conspiracy theory that Woody Jenkins sent from the Loyola law review re the election was stolen.
