Congressman McGovern supports holding Wall Street accountable for the mess it created. He believes we need strong, efficient oversight of risky financial products and effective protections for consumers. Jim voted to crack down on credit card companies and predatory lenders, and he supports requiring the big banks to repay 100% of the taxpayer money they received. Congressman McGovern also believes that we should eliminate tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas.
