Guardians of Consumer Rights
This chapter explores the establishment and significance of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) in safeguarding consumers against financial exploitation. It discusses the agency's achievements in reclaiming over $21 billion from fraudulent practices, while also addressing the political opposition it faces, particularly from high-profile Republicans and figures like Elon Musk. The narrative emphasizes the critical role of regulatory bodies in maintaining fair financial practices and the potential constitutional challenges posed by attempts to undermine them.
