White House budget boss Mick Mulvaney moved quickly Monday to rein in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, imposing a 30-day hiring freeze and other new rules as the fight over whos really in charge of the agency heads to court.
Mulvaney, whom President Trump chose to run the CFPB on a temporary basis, has a history of bashing the bureau and has called it a sad, sick joke.
He didnt back away from those assertions Monday afternoon, describing the CFPB as an awful example of a bureaucracy that has gone wrong and is almost entirely unaccountable.
Mulvaney said he was surprised at the unchecked powers afforded to the bureau including his.
I am just finding out about the powers I have as acting director and they would frighten most of you, he said. Its frightening to think about how little oversight Congress has over me now as I am the director.

Excellent!
Does this agency duplicate another? Are we getting scre*** twice??
Amen to that.
I sure hope some leftist 0bama appointed judge does try to throw a monkey wrench into this.
Air Traffic Controllers.....redux.
Fire them.
From what I’ve read the director of this abomination has almost unlimited power, it should be eliminated in my view.
does = doesn’t :(
“Sounds like Trump/Mulvaney are kicking ass and taking no prisoners.
Excellent!”
Another rogue agency that Trump is getting under control.
I wish Trump would appoint me as the CFPB director.
On my first day I’d gather everyone together and say, “You’re all fired. Please be gone within the hour.”
I know what you meant. No harm, not foul. Hate when I do that though, and it’s not as infrequent as I would like.
I’ve had to force myself to do better proof-reading.
My posts were beginning to earn me the title of “D1 - Beyond Blunderprone!”
I like the “hiring freeze” end of this. Excellent!
It’s just what we hired Trump to do.
This was why English did not want to leave the office. She was drunk with absolute power. Now she can cry her eyes out or beg her former master Odumbo.
Amen to that.
Lets git er done this month, folks!
The Prez needs to move his Senate-approved heads from one department to another, as he sequentially shuts them down.
Good. Start firing a bunch now. We have enough regulators.
Pocahontas herself proposed and ran this monstrosity in the beginning.
Well, if he uses more than one team, he can shut them down faster. I don’t care how he does it, as long as he does it.
From the article:
“English and the White House duked it out in a federal courtroom in Washington before Judge Timothy Kelly, a Trump appointee recently approved by the Senate. Kelly gave government lawyers until tonight to file their opposition to Leandra English’s request for a temporary restraining order.”
So we have a “Trump Judge!” We will soon see if he was a good appointment. My bet is that his pressure on the DOJ was so that he can “quickly dismiss” English’ request for an injunction.
Precisely why the Democratics breathed life into this monstrosity and also why Fauxahontas cherishes it.
