There Be New Rules A Comin’
New financial legislation has passed in both houses of Congress, and it’s really historic, or so I’m told. It took them 20 hours to hammer out the deal, but they got it done. And it’s set to be signed into law by July 4th.
It’s meant to fix a lot of the things that led to the financial crisis in the first place. It’ll protect the average consumer from unnecessary risks and gives the government new ways to keep its eye on things.
Yep, Washington is going to be a lot more involved than it used to be. The new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is supposed to make sure things like credit cards are run fairly.
And no more of this free selling of mortgages to secondary markets. Companies that do that will have to back up the credit risk.
I won’t get into the rest of nitty gritties but essentially their trying their best to make this the end-all and be-all of financial law. So we’ll all keep our fingers crossed and brace ourselves in case they missed anything.
Let me know what you think about the law and if there’s anything about it you like or don’t like.
