The House Financial Services Committee has announced plans to unveil its alternative to the controversial Dodd-Frank Act, which one lawmaker once compared to ‘regulatory waterboarding’
The House Financial Services Committee has announced it will unveil details about a plan to replace the Dodd-Frank Act.
Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) will unveil the plan during a speech to the Economic Growth Club of New York on June 7, according to a committee press release. The club’s meeting will take place at The Penn Club, 30 West 44th Street.
Hensarling’s speech is scheduled to begin at 8 a.m. EDT. According to the release, he will detail the Republican plan that would replace the controversial Dodd-Frank Act and “promote economic growth.”
House Republicans have long criticized the Dodd-Frank Act as anti-growth and anti-consumer. Hensarling especially has been hostile to the act, at one point saying it amounted to “regulatory waterboarding.”
“Dodd-Frank should be called the Obama Financial Control Law, because that’s what it is,” Hensarling said in March. “It stands as a monument to the arrogance and hubris of man in that its answer to incomprehensible complexity and government control is yet more incomprehensible complexity and government control.”
