Early Friday morning, Senate and House negotiators reached an agreement on what is called the "most sweeping overhaul of financial regulation" since the Great Depression. According to numerous articles on the reform package, proposals to create a consumer financial protection watchdog and to put limits on debit card charges were adopted. These new proposals supposedly favor consumers.

TheStreet.com's Jim Cramer says we're back in the thrall of Washington, and he for one is tired of it.

You just feel like telling President Obama, "Look, stay focused on getting us out of this severe recession in a responsible way without too much budget busting and things will all come together."

Instead, you wake up, and every day's historic ... including a lot of days you don't want to be historic. Or sweeping. Or groundbreaking. Like this one.

The only thing we really want to hear is that the U.S. growth rate is going from negative to positive, or even less negative. Now in our faces is the World Bank news from China that growth there is being raised from 6.5% to 7.2%. From the Chinese I can take all sorts of sweeping and groundbreaking and even, yes, revolutionary.

What are the new changes in financial regulation? First and foremost, President Obama wants to expand the powers of the Federal Reserve to assume primary responsibility for averting an new financial crisis.

Secondly, he wants to create a "council of financial regulators" who would improve coordination among agencies. The council would discuss systemic risks, but the Fed could at alone without its approval.

The administration has decided not to consolidate regulatory agencies due to the political fallout involved.

Talk about closing the barn door after the horses are gone.

Yesterday, Treasury Secretary and former Goldman Sachs CEO Hank Paulson called for greater oversight of financial institutions in the U.S. Apparently, some bankers got a little crazy with the fancy financial instruments and now the credit markets are busted. So Paulson is calling for a new sheriff to come in and clean up the town.

But where was the sheriff when the party was really going wild? This is not the time to worry about that. As Paulson said, "This effort is not about finding excuses or scapegoats.
