Unique among them, however, as I noted in my introduction, the CFPB does havea funding cap, and if they wanted any more money beyond that they will have to go to Congress to seek that money.
On the issue of accountability, Ihave introduced a bill to require utility companies to disclose the amount of money that cap-and-trade policies would add to individual utility bills.
The only way Ihave been able to think of to put a serious break on the process is to put some sort of cap on the amount of return on investment that can receive preferential treatment.
If you believe that raising tax rates on the top 2 percent by a few points will havea negative effect on the economy and jobs (I do not), then you will likely find the deduction cap is going to be a far more acceptable alternative than what the President has proposed.
