The Bureau’s activities include advice on how to avoid phishing and identity theft."
Can't have a federal agency that provably protects consumers against the maliciousness and uncaringness of banks, credit card companies, pay-day loan scum and other financial "institutions" now can we? The poor must be exploited without any pesky, (rich people) money wasting bureaucracy to protect them!
