Unfortunately, the loss of the CRPB is not the worst of our problems. The loss of constitutional governance, the rule of law, an independent legislative branch, environmental protection, science, medical research, civil rights, equal opportunity and equal rights, global allies (other than Israel), decency, and morality are but a few that are bigger losses. But, yeah it does suck about the CFPB.

Meh.

CFPB has done FAR LESS than it could, not FAR MORE.

The argument being made is that this underperformance is vital... it is not.

If the requirement for real consumer protection is the destruction of the present "do as little as possible" CFPB with one that actually seeks to deliver on its fiduciary duty, then so be it.

Lina Khan showed that this can be done at the FTC.
