@JoshRosner Yes whole deal basically screwed borrowers and investors

@MKTWgoldstein My point is that we are at this point due to the unwillingness to create a balanced, accountable CFPB

@MKTWgoldstein Police departments have lost lawsuits too, so all fine there is the point?

Vast majority of GOP would be perfectly fine with CFPB just going after bad actors, it’s all the social engineering, attempts at cross-subsidies & lack of due process that are the fundamental problems

If CFPB was the price to pay for the bank bailouts, how about we just don’t do bank bailouts? #WinWin

Kittens & puppies have much higher chance of adoption, most impact you can make is on senior cats and dogs #SeniorSunday

Shouldn’t the public be able to know how much of CFPB settlements go to the lawyers & third party groups, & how much actually goes to victims? #AuditCFPB

Mortgages were center of the 2008 financial crisis, Fannie/Freddie were at center of 2008 crisis, yet former Fannie/Freddie executives working at CFPB, for almost a decade, illegally exempted Fannie/Freddie loans from Dodd-Frank mortgage rules - sounds fairly corrupt to me

My non-lawyer read of financial regulation history is that a lot of nonbank CFPB regulation raises Commerce Clause issues

As my good friend @CatoEdwards pointed out years ago, there used to be loud voices on the left against govt waste - where are today’s Bill Proxmire and Paul Douglas?

There were around 7,600 banks when Dodd-Frank was passed, now there are around 4,500, Dodd-Frank & the CFPB have crushed community banks and driven more and more banking into the MegaBanks

RT @russvought: The CFPB has been a woke & weaponized agency against disfavored industries and individuals for a long time. This must end.…

Reminder that the original Liz Warren written CFPB bill, introduced by Durbin-Kennedy-Sanders was a bipartisan commission funded within the Congressional appropriations process

Wrote this back in 2011, again relevant -> Ditch the Double Standard for New Consumer Agency via @CatoInstitute

Reminder that the CFPB is NOT a Wall Street regulator (such remains with SEC/CFTC), it is a Main Street regulator
