The CFPB has returned $21 billion to 205 million consumers who were scammed at the hands of predatory banks. You can root out waste, fraud, and abuse... or you can eliminate the CFPB. But you can't do both.

-the return on NIH investment is estimated at 25-40% annually given the improvement in productivity from a healthier workforce

Facts matter.
