Daniel Akaka: “Working families are having trouble accessing affordable credit.”

Thank you, Chairman Brown. Thank you very much for holding this hearing today and for all of your work on consumer protection issues.

I am proud of the work we have accomplished on this Committee through both legislation, such as the Dodd-Frank and the Credit CARD Acts.

Well, thank you very much for that.

I fought to include a report on remittance transfers in the Dodd-Frank provisions.
