The GOP has been understaffing, underfunding, and legally boxing in U.S. consumer protection agencies for decades

One thing to keep in mind as the Trump administration moves to downsize government: The size of an agency's staff often isn't set by law.
But there's a very long list of things agencies are required by law to do, and cutting the workforce doesn't make those obligations go away.

prepare to enjoy a deadly crash course on the error of that narrative
