House Democrats Fighting for Americans, Standing up to Trump's #WallStreetFirst Agenda

February 7, 2017

Last week, the ‘so-called' President signaled his intent to give a helping hand to his special interest friends on Wall Street, all at the expense of hard-working American families. By taking our country back to the days when unfair, deceptive, and predatory practices against consumers were the norm, for all of the President's empty talk about standing with working families, he is perpetrating a massive con on the American people.

With his Executive Order, President Trump and Republicans have sent a clear, chilling message to American families: it's #WallStreetFirst. But Leader Pelosi and House Democrats continue to stand up against their radical agenda that threatens jobs, wages, and the retirement security of hard-working families across America.
