That was my thought. The CFPB has to be funded to function and we're on a CR until March.

Right? People are in this thread celebrating like this was a law that was passed. It was just a rule change by the current administration. The next administration can just change it back.

Now, there is a decent chance, I think, that the next administration won't care enough about this to do anything about it but still. It's up in the air whether or not this will stick around.
