Senate GOP pushes rewrite to 21B funding bill
Senate Republicans advance a must pass funding bill with a plan to loosen Dodd-Frank era rules. The Banking Committee proposal would raise the big bank threshold from 50 to 500 billion, loosen mortgage lending standards, heighten congressional oversight of the Fed, and require quarterly monetary policy reports. Democrats oppose the changes, arguing they undermine consumer protections and riskier financial practices. The bill faces an uncertain path with tax and IRS cuts also in dispute.
