>Because certain regulations
This is all either of us need to say. Certain regulations. There are good and bad regulations. Reagan era deregulation led to an increased corporate capture of the government as well as workers and then everything else with the creation of private equity firms and stock buybacks. You're right that there can be bad regulations.
>The CFPB's rules makes banks and lenders tighten up, offering less credit to those with low income. That means less options for someone struggling to pay bills
That's interesting, I'll have to look into that. I know there are solutions that, even if they're perfect, have consequences like these and we need to weigh just how bad it is with the benefits. Like solar panels do drive down your cost for energy personally, but the energy industry is rigged to compensate for that loss by charging your neighbors more. That aspect needs to be examined too.
>If he actually wants it gone, he's not doing a very good job.
It's incremental and he has over 3 years left.
>Tariffs were a popular Democrat position over two decades ago, the only reason they hate it now is because Trump.
Two decades ago is over a decade before Trump and coming out of the "I think covid inflation is Biden inflation so I'm going to vote against Biden in hope of things somehow getting cheaper under Trump" campaign cycle with a plan that makes everything more expensive doesn't make sense. If you're that worried about the deficit, why cut taxes? And the tariffs were described as a retaliation on "liberation day" as if tariffs on America weren't to protect the much smaller economies. He has a cabinet of 13 billionaires and he's representing their interests.
>Your excessive ad hominem
I know libertarian is such a mean thing to call someone, but I can't explain what drives someone to defend a president and his billionaire cabinet removing the previous administration's restrictions on overdraft fees.
