Clinton proposes easing bank regulations to allow loans based on character and financials, not just statements, with new rules aimed at reducing capital burdens and expanding access to capital markets for small lenders. D'Amato backs a similar plan to create a secondary market for small business loans, while Capitol Hill responds lukewarm. The Senate runs an NCAA basketball feed on two channels, diverting attention from hearings.
