worse, the bill empowers president trump's advisors to influence monetary policy, including interest rates that affect america's mortgages, credit cards and i.r.a.'s. independent agencies like the consumer financial protection bureau, would have to first receive the ok from trump's administration packed with wall street insiders before they could protect the american public. for example, the administration could block the consumer financial protection bureau's recent proposal to stop payday lending death traps. these agencies would be directed to write rules favorable to industry, subjecting individuals once again to predatory practices. i am so deeply troubled that h.r. 1009 gives the trump administration a say in the federal reserve's monetary policy decisions. the importance of fed independence is well-established and results in objective, nonpolitical policymaking and a high degree of credibility with financial markets. however, today's bill threatens the integrity of these decisions. given that the fed's actions can move stock markets by hundreds of points, we should absolutely reject the trump white house and the republicans' desire to use t
