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

You are talking specifically about salaries in your comparisons. Apples to apples means you should also only talk about salaries for the CFPB.

> which ~ 250k/head, which is bigger than the salary of the Speaker of the House.

> 250k average pay is unheard of in the federal government

As the data I linked, their salary amounts is on the lower end of federal agencies. I get you don't think they're worth the cost, but you can't claim they're radically overpaid compared to other federal agencies. The data just does not back up that claim.

its not "on the lower end". From https://openpayrolls.com/federal/consumer-financial-protecti...:

  The average employee salary for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) in 2023 was $134,723. This is 87.8 percent higher than the national average for government employees and 74.7 percent higher than other federal agencies.

top quartile of the pay bracket.

ok maybe they are not all overpaid, but the agency is over bloated for its mission and what could be accomplished with the resources they are using
