Sen. Durbin on Trump Admin's Mental Health Grant Cuts & Credit Card Competition Act

Published | Video Starts at 10:51

Every time you use your credit card, if it's for a transaction, for a meal at a restaurant, for a contribution to a charity, the swipe fee is being taken out of it. 5% or more. My bill would require the largest 30 or so banks to enable at least two credit card networks to be used on credit cards. They issue with at least one being outside the Visa MasterCard duopoly. That would create real competition. The banking industry hates the Marshall Durbin Welcher amendment like the devil hates holy water. (10:51–11:01)

CLAIM
