A few weeks ago Dodd's Senate banking committee held hearings on the need for regulation of the financial industry. Present were 10 regulators each from one of 10 different regulatory bodies. Dodd commented: "the picture of 10 people was the picture of the problem."

Now lawmakers are trying to figure out what to do and how to do it. Obviously there will be fierce power struggles among the existing agencies.
