The bulk of people (outside of some understandable departments like transportation) working in state and federal government believe in the goal of their job. Some of the most passionate, dedicated people I’ve met are in ag and ed departments at the state and federal level. People who could make two or three times as much in the private sector, but want to help further their agency.

But anyway, I’m derailing. Sorry about that.

To the op, I imagine the agency will quietly fade into the background like many over the next couple years. It’ll take something catastrophic before people say “hey, maybe we need some guidance here, like a neutral agency.” And then BAM some genius in Congress will come up with the CDPB.
