No, but read what they say and hold them to it, instead of railing against what you think they secretly intend to do.

In this case, the existing laws already give them the power, but they are trying to figure out how to write rules that will prevent the financial segment from returning to business as usual when the economy recovers, without impeding that recovery.
After all, the same people will be running the financial segment, people that have been steeped in a culture of greed, and to hell with sound practices/stockholders/country.

If you leave your kid alone and he burns half the house down, next time you go out you sure as hell better get a baby sitter.
