U.S. Rep: CFPB Is Only “Navel Gazing”

Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer, a Republican from Missouri and a member of the House Committee on Financial Services, had harsh words for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau on Monday.

“I was more than a little annoyed recently during a committee hearing with a government official who seemed intent on defending an agency created by the troubling Dodd-Frank Act that is more interested in navel gazing than helping our nation’s small businesses,” Luetkemeyer wrote.

Earlier this month, CFPB Director Richard Cordray testified before the House Committee on Small Business regarding his agency’s role in the U.S. business environment.
