Have you noticed anything?
That of all the crap coming out of Washington right now, all the laws, all the bailouts, all the new legislation to "fix" things, not one of them involves better and improved regulation of the financial industry.
There's a lot about the government taking over the financial industry, though.
The politicians know what the goals are, and what they want. They're counting on their ignorant constituents to buy the usual populist rhetoric.
