CFPB's 1,700 employees told to "not perform any work"

250k average pay is unheard of in the federal government, plus it is unconstitutional to have CFPB outside the congressional appropriations process.

Its basically illegal from the Constitutional point of view.

Plus the agency really has not delivered enough to justify its existence and its spend

Interesting, considering they are not making anywhere near 250. doo de doo... How exactly are you measuring "delivered", "enough", and "justify"? I guess you just feel it like that 250k.

Feels good to sit at the other side of the "performance evaluation" process for once... and for your own government!

just inject this directly into my veins

Oh yes "legality" has been at the forefront of what this new government does. Are you their spokesperson btw? You seem to believe it all.

if what they are doing is illegal, it seems like a slam dunk for their opposition to sue them and win a huge fat settlement $$$.

why is this not happening?
