Making stress tests clear means fewer loopholes and less taxpayer risk. It’s about time Congress demanded the Fed play fair with our money.

Transparency is neat, but will this just slow down timely decisions at the Fed? A fine line between clarity and red tape.

If the Fed's scared to stress-test climate risks, maybe it's because they know markets should decide, not Washington overreach.

More rules and red tape for the Fed? Sounds like another way to choke banks instead of letting them breathe and grow.

Opening up stress test methodologies sounds good on paper—let’s hope it actually improves stability instead of bogging down the system.

Finally, some transparency—letting the Fed show us the math behind the curtain! Let's hold Wall Street accountable, not just spook them with vague rules.
moderate 09/10/2025
I’m all for rules you can understand, but let’s not forget that too many cooks in the Fed kitchen might spoil the broth.

If the Fed’s going to stress-test banks, they better show their work—no more hiding behind secret scenarios while Main Street pays the price.

Stress tests are already killing free-market dynamism—this bill just adds layers of bureaucracy to beat it to death.
