On Budget & Economy:
Reduce financial regulations so small businesses get capital
McMahon praised Trump for signing a bill that rolled back some of the provisions of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, which was enacted in the wake of the financial crisis that precipitated the Great Recession.
The legislation relieves small and community financial institutions from what she called "overly burdensome regulations" and from annual oversight measures that include stress tests and other compliance measures.
"This will make it easier for community banks and credit unions to lend money and give access to capital," she said. "Access to capital is key. It is a key factor in whether small businesses can succeed or fail."
As a result of the growth spurred
by reduced regulation and the tax cuts, many businesses are having trouble finding workers with the skills they need, particularly people who work with their hands. That's why President Trump has made workforce development a priority, McMahon said.
