This order rolls back Dodd-Frank protections to deregulate community banks, easing QM/ATR rules and appraisal standards to boost lending. Republicans ignore that weakening oversight risks the predatory cycles seen in 2008. Democrats overlook how current compliance costs stifle rural and low-income access to credit. By prioritizing speed and digital modernization over consumer safeguards, the policy bets on market volume at the expense of systemic stability and borrower protections.
