During the government shutdown, some CFPB staff have voiced their opinions on Twitter. <name>Dan Munz</name>, deputy assistant director for consumer engagement at the CFPB, tweeted, "Boy, shutdown week has really created a sudden bumper crop of amateur federal management experts."; "Also, seems like <name>Boehner</name> is singlehandedly undoing whatever progress he'd made in portraying this as a Dem [Democratic Party] shutdown."; and "Basically, there's now a strong incentive to fill legislation with minor symbolic things you can bargain away later to protect the core."

The agency has been able to stay open during the government shutdown because it is funded by the Federal Reserve. According to <name>Amanda Terkel</name> at the Huffington Post, Republican members of the United States House of Representatives have put closing the CFPB on their wish list of items in negotiating for a new debt ceiling limit. Party members have previously stalled the appointment of <name>Richard Cordray</name> as the CFPB boss as a way of hindering it from engaging in oversight of financial organizations in the the US.
