Federal agencies are controlled through funding. Bureaucrats don’t care much about who the president is (we have learned that the Deep State is hardly accountable to the current occupant of the White House). But they are obsequious beyond compare when appearing before the congressional committees that oversee appropriations.
Sen. Elizabeth Warren is not dumb. Her idea of this Consumer Financial Protection Bureau makes this clear. She understands that sometimes her political adversaries may control those congressional committees; the complete fix is not yet in. The linked article shows the solution to that problem:
The CFPB gets funding not from Congress but the Federal Reserve, and the money comes at the request of the CFPB director. And under the enabling Dodd-Frank legislation, the Fed has “no ability to affect the agency’s actions.” So Warren’s CFPB is beyond the control of Congress, and if the Supreme Court upholds the status quo, “it would be possible for Congress to create other agencies that are beyond the control of any elected body.”
The CFPB is beyond the control of Congress. It is beyond the control of the President. It is beyond the control of the voters. It is beyond the control of everyone except the CFPB director. That makes it a glaringly obvious example of an anti-constitutional agency–so obvious it should be taught as such in our nation’s public schools, except we know that would never happen.
It is just like the Federal Reserve, which is also beyond the control of Congress, the President, and the voters. But that might be too much truth for one article, or for FrontPageMag.com, so that is conspicuously not mentioned.
Sen. Warren is a smart and cunning anti-constitutionalist. This makes her dangerous.
