According to the Chicago Tribune, Americans for Financial Reform and the Center for Responsible Lending are planning to release a survey that shows at least 80 percent of Americans are concerned by Trump’s recent efforts to limit oversight of banks and payday lenders, and potentially shut down the database of consumer complaints. What’s more, the survey is expected to show that a high percentage of Americans are concerned about reduced regulatory oversight of racial discrimination among lenders, more cozy relationships between government officials and industry lobbyists, and laws that will ease the rules for businesses instead of focusing on protecting consumers.
