Called the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Accountability Act of 2017, the bill would place the CFPB under the congressional appropriations process, letting lawmakers control its budget. That would give Congress the ability to drastically limit the scope and size of the bureau, regardless of who controls it.

The CFPB, opened in 2011 per a section of the Dodd-Frank financial reform law mandating its creation, is currently independently funded by the Federal Reserve.

Republicans have sought drastic changes to the CFPB since it opened. They say the bureau - controlled by an independent director with regulatory and punitive power - is unaccountable and too powerful.

This is BIG LEAGUE!! The first step to rolling back Dodd-Frank and of course Marco is at the head of the charge. Dodd-Frank is dead just like how Marco killed ObamaCare.

The fact that they could apply punitive damages to their fines without any oversite is ridiculous.

The CFPB really is hard for businesses to get a handle on. You may be complying with years of case law, then all of a sudden the CFPB decides that isn't good enough and slams the frick out of you.

Bad for business and that is why Marco is taking it down.
