This!  This is what the don’t understand.[/quote]

Will be interesting to see the spin on this one, given that CFPB directly helps individual Americans. They can’t make the same arguments they made about foreign aid, such as we should spend the money to help people in our own country, etc. And CFPB’s establishment as an independent agency via statute is very clear. [b]So it’s pretty different in kind than the USAID situation[/b].

Except its not bc its ALL about consolidating Executive power. Eyes on the real issue.[/quote]

Oh yes I agree. Both situations are absolutely unconstitutional and surely test balloons for enormous expansion of executive power. But the justification soundbites used for shutting down USAID don’t translate easily to CFPB. I’m curious (in a morbid way) what talking points they’ll distribute to their base on this one. I’m sure we will see them repeated on this board soon.[/quote]
