There can be unseemly exposure of the mind as well as of the body, as the progressive mind is exposed in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), a creature of the labyrinthine Dodd-Frank legislation. Judicial dismantling of the CFPB would affirm the rule of law and Congress’s constitutional role.
The CFPB’s director, Richard Cordray, was installed by one of Barack Obama’s spurious recess appointmentswhen the Senate was not in recess. Vitiating the Senate’s power to advise and consent to presidential appointments is congruent with the CFPB’s general lawlessness.
The CFPB nullifies Congress’s power to use the power of the purse to control bureaucracies because its funding — “determined by the director” — comes not from congressional appropriations but from the Federal Reserve. Untethered from all three branches of government, unlike anything created since 1789, the CFPB is uniquely sovereign: The president appoints the director for a five-year term — he can stay indefinitely, if no successor is confirmed — and the director can be removed, but not for policy reasons.
One CFPB request for $94 million in Federal Reserve funds was made on a single sheet of paper. Its 2012 budget estimated $130 million for — this is the full explanation — “other services.” So it has been hiring promiscuously and paying its hires lavishly: As of three months ago, approximately 60 percent of its then 958 employees were making more than $100,000 a year. Five percent were making $200,000 or more. (A Cabinet secretary makes $199,700.)

One thing that caught my eye is that 60% of the employees at the CFPB are making over $100,000 a year. 5% are making more than Cabinet secretaries.
One of those in the 60% is Holly Petraeus who makes around $200,000.

George Will had better watch his back. He criticized the sneaky ways of The Won. He's probably on some sort of hit list already.
Lots of info in the article.

Very interesting indeed. There's a whole lot of Mafia-style nefariousness in this regime.
It may also have something to do with what was going on in the Tampa Bay mess. For example why did Sen. John Kerry support Jill Kelley and her sister (Holly's friends) and why did these women receive a loan from a DNC Finance Chair.
I know...it's convoluted. But something along these lines is in the mix in the Tampa Bay scandal.
Why should they be? After all they do know what is best for us.
Must I? /s
One of those appointees is making 178,000 dollars a year is general Petraeus’s is wife . Just appointed last week by President Obummer.
The IPAB which will set prices for hospitals and doctors is quite similar.
Under the PPACA, future Congresses will not be allowed to repeal this aspect of Obamacare.
“Just appointed last week by President Obummer.’
You are incorrect, she make more than $178K and was hired in January or February of this year.
You're gravely mistaken. From the White House website, Jan. 4, 2012: Holly Petraeus Joins Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

Sadly Holly is the POSTER child of far left women....UGLY and cheated on by their husbands!
