Zeldin’s explanations for wanting to eliminate this small agency are inane. It is the most effective agency at pursuing financial institutions that have sold products, and pursued credit, debt-collection and other practices, that are unfair, deceptive or abusive. Zeldin is carrying water for financial institutions against the pesky CFPB and doubtless hopes to increase his campaign contributions by doing this. Maybe he will, but we will be watching and Zeldin will be facing a lot of questions from voters about this (as well as so many other matters) between now and November 2018.
