House Passes Bill Aimed At Operation Choke Point

From The Daily Caller:

The House voted Thursday on legislation to make it more difficult for banking regulators to demand that banks shutdown certain business accounts.

Proposed by Missouri Republican Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer , the House legislation passed 265 to 159 and is designed to target the Obama’s administration’s “Operation Choke Point,” a Justice Department effort to require businesses to stop banks from working with certain businesses.

These businesses include lawful firearms dealers, payday lenders, escort services and other companies. The Washington Post noted that while the Justice Department cut off financial services to certain industries, it encouraged banks to provide services to others like illegal marijuana sales.

So gun dealers and payday loan companies are bad, but marijuana stores are ok?

Right!
