In Answer To That Question...

The question was asked on the previous post about how NCUA's budget compared to that of the FDIC?

For 2015, Mr. Marty Gruenberg, Chairman of the FDIC, stated: "This is the fifth consecutive reduction in the FDIC's annual operating budget." [link]

So, how does the NCUA's budget record match up?

2009        $177.8 ⬆︎              15%                 7,554▼
