CNBCさんのインスタグラム写真 - (CNBCInstagram)「Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have a new target: credit card companies.⠀ ⠀ The lawmakers, who identify as democratic socialists, will unveil a plan Thursday to cap credit card interest rates at 15%, according to The Washington Post.⠀ ⠀ The measure aims to cut current rates significantly: in February, the average credit card interest rate sat at 17.41%, up from 16.15% a year earlier.⠀ ⠀ Sanders said: "Wall Street makes tens of billions from people at outrageous interest rates." He was "sure" the plan would face criticism, but added, "Maybe Congress should stand up for ordinary people."⠀ ⠀ The measure will have a tough time getting through Congress, particularly the Republican-held Senate. The bank industry will likely oppose it. ⠀ ⠀ More details, at the link in bio. ⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ #policy #economics #economicpolicy #politics #aoc #berniesanders #alexandriaocasiocortez #bernie #money #wealth #wallstreet #wallst #banking #finance #credit #creditcards #interestrates #debt #financialliteracy #moneymatters #business #businessnews #CNBC⠀」5月10日 1時43分
