CFPB powers down

Red State: "Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's Website Goes Dark and the Woodchipper Warms Up."

I'm not necessarily opposed to the role of the CFPB as a kind of overseer of the financial sector.  What I do not like is the quasi-legal structure of the bureau which is semi-isolated from the control of the executive branch.  Until now, maybe.

Update - CNBC: "Consumer Financial Protection Bureau staff told to work remotely as headquarters is shuttered."
