In our first podcast of the 116th Congress, we hear from the Vice Chair of the Joint Economic Committee, Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney, about her Credit CARD Act (AKA Credit Card Holder's Bill of Rights). Then, JEC staff speaks with Dr. Neale Mahoney, whose 2013 study shows that the Credit CARD Act saved American consumers more than $12B/year.
