Economic Growth

Senate Banking Chairman Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) released the text of bipartisan “Economic Growth” legislation, which rolls back valuable fair lending requirements and protections from the dangerous banking practices that led to the 2008 financial crisis.

“This legislation will grow economic inequality rather than our economy, as its name suggests” said John Taylor, President and CEO of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition. “In the midst of several financial scandals, politicians on both sides of the aisle have again proven that their allegiances to Wall Street far surpass their promises to Main Street.”
